[vox-tech] Removing Files

[Daniel Hurt]

Sorry got side tracked. I tried performing a file system check as you
suggested.  The partition is LVM2 volume with JFS installed.  It is a
snap to unmount since the contents are data.  There were no errors
detected when running fsck.jfs.

The command run with output was:
# fsck.jfs -v -f /dev/vg/media
fsck.jfs version 1.1.3, 05-Sep-2003
processing started: 5/20/2004 13.39.3
The current device is:  /dev/vg/media
Open(...READ/WRITE EXCLUSIVE...) returned rc = 0
Primary superblock is valid.
The type of file system for the device is JFS.
Block size in bytes:  4096
Filesystem size in blocks:  78643200
