system pass invokes a different Phase of the +.I fsck_ffs +program. +After the initial setup, +.I fsck_ffs +performs successive Phases over each file system, +checking blocks and sizes, +path-names, +connectivity, +reference counts, +and the map of free blocks, +(possibly rebuilding it), +and performs some cleanup. +.LP +Normally +.I fsck_ffs +is run non-interactively to +.I preen +the file systems after an unclean halt. +While preen'ing a file system, +it will only fix corruptions that are expected +to occur from an unclean halt. +These actions are a proper subset of the actions that +.I fsck_ffs +will take when it is running interactively. +Throughout this appendix many errors have several options +that the operator can take. +When an inconsistency is detected, +.I fsck_ffs +reports the error condition to the operator. +If a response is required, +.I fsck_ffs +prints a prompt message and +waits for a response. +When preen'ing most errors are fatal. +For those that are expected, +the response taken is noted. +This appendix explains the meaning of each error condition, +the possible responses, and the related error conditions. +.LP +The error conditions are organized by the +.I Phase +of the +.I fsck_ffs +program in which they can occur. +The error conditions that may occur +in more than one Phase +will be discussed in initialization. +.NH 2 +Initialization +.PP +Before a file system check can be performed, certain +tables have to be set up and certain files opened. +This section concerns itself with the opening of files and +the initialization of tables. +This section lists error conditions resulting from +command line options, +memory requests, +opening of files, +status of files, +file system size checks, +and creation of the scratch file. +All the initialization errors are fatal +when the file system is being preen'ed. +.sp +.LP +.B "\fIC\fP option?" +.br +\fIC\fP is not a legal option to +.I fsck_ffs ; +legal options are \-b, \-c, \-y, \-n,

last block +in the file system. +This error condition may invoke the +.B "EXCESSIVE BAD BLKS" +error condition in Phase 1 (see next paragraph) if +inode \fII\fP has too many block numbers outside the file system range. +This error condition will always invoke the +.B "BAD/DUP" +error condition in Phase 2 and Phase 4. +.sp +.LP +.B "EXCESSIVE BAD BLKS I=\fII\fP (CONTINUE)" +.br +There is more than a tolerable number (usually 10) of blocks with a number +lower than the number of the first data block in the file system or greater than +the number of last block in the file system associated with inode \fII\fP. +.LP +Possible responses to the CONTINUE prompt are: +.IP YES +ignore the rest of the blocks in this inode +and continue checking with the next inode in the file system. +This error condition will not allow a complete check of the file system. +A second run of +.I fsck_ffs +should be made to re-check this file system. +.IP NO +terminate the program. +.sp +.LP +.B "BAD STATE DDD

+.br +Inode \fII\fP contains block number \fIB\fP that is already claimed by +another inode. +This error condition may invoke the +.B "EXCESSIVE DUP BLKS" +error condition in Phase 1 if +inode \fII\fP

made to re-check this file system. +.IP NO +terminate the program. +.sp +.LP +.B "DUP TABLE OVERFLOW (CONTINUE)" +.br +An internal table in +.I fsck_ffs +containing duplicate block numbers cannot allocate any more space. +Increase the amount of virtual memory available to +.I fsck_ffs . +.LP +Possible responses to the CONTINUE prompt are: +.IP YES +continue with the program. +This error condition will not allow a complete check of the file system. +A second run of +.I fsck_ffs +should be made to re-check this file system. +If another duplicate block is found, this error condition

the block count of inode \fII\fP with \fIY\fP. +.IP NO +ignore this error condition. +.NH 2 +Phase 1B: Rescan for More Dups +.PP +When a duplicate block is found in the file system, the file system is +rescanned to find the inode that previously claimed that block. +This section lists the error condition when the duplicate block is found. +.sp +.LP +.B "\fIB\fP DUP I=\fII\fP" +.br +Inode \fII\fP contains block number \fIB\fP that +is already claimed by another inode. +This error condition will always invoke the +.B "BAD/DUP" +error condition in Phase 2. +You can determine which inodes have overlapping blocks by examining +this error condition and the DUP error condition in Phase 1. +.NH 2 +Phase 2 \- Check Pathnames +.PP +This phase concerns itself with removing directory entries +pointing to +error conditioned inodes +from Phase 1 and Phase 1b. +This section lists error conditions resulting from +root inode mode and status, +directory inode pointers in range, +and directory entries pointing to bad inodes, +and directory integrity checks. +All errors in this phase are fatal if the file system is being preen'ed, +except for directories not being a multiple of the blocks
