Hi, straight forward one....

fsck /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 - no probs

I wish to check another drive within the system not just the mounted one is this possible?

ie I have two drives in the system - one is mounted - one is not however I wish to check the disk...

Thanks!

Not that it is advisable under every condition, but you can have fsck loop through all devices by just running fsck w/o specifying a device; combine that with the -y flag and all devices will be fsck(d) w/o prompts.

/dev/rdsk is raw (unbuffered) where as /dev/dsk is buffered.

You should fsck unmounted raw devices.
