Simon,

What prompted you to run fsck? Was it just the 100% full thing?

Did you get any other error messages from fsck? Mike

Hi Mike,
Thank you for replying , the problem is that earlier we had to do a roll over on the database and the result was we restored from backup.
After using restore (frecover -rvo -f /dev/rmt/0mb) and rebooting the system it failed to maount all so after bdf which showed / as being 100% we ran fsck which then reported the error code 6 .
I would like to point out that when doing the restore we logged in under single user mode and we mounted all the volumes.

Would be greatful for any advise...

Regards
Simon
 
Simon,

I'm guessing here.....

It may be that fsck cannot run on a full filesystem.

Take a backup of that filesystem to tape (dd from the device to the tape device)

Try and mount the filesystem anyway, make some space by deleting files if you can (don't try and extend the fs just yet) Mike
