- DiskValid For AFS
- -----------------
-
- DiskValid checks an AFS partition to see if it is Valid (i.e. it has not been
- corrupted or damaged in any way).
-
- You will find the validity checker in the tools directory on your AFS
- original disk.
-
- Useage:-
-
- DiskValid VOLUME: [VERBOSE] [FIX]
-
- It does produce a lot of output - which, to speed up the checking, should be
- piped to a file.
-
- If the fix option is set then DiskValid will attempt to repair any errors on
- the partition.
-
- Warning - Always make a backup before attempting to fix a partition with
- diskvalid.
-
- Currently only the bitmaps can be fixed by DiskValid.
-
- N.B. You may notice that DiskValid reports a number of blocks in the reserved
- area which are allocated but not used. This is due to a slight problem in AFS
- which has been fixed, and will be included in the next release. This does not
- cause any real problems, but the disk can be fixed using the FIX option in
- any case.
-
