FSCK Log File
The Guardian file identifier of the default log file consists of the characters ZX0
followed by the rightmost portion of the device identifier of the fileset. (The device
identifier of a fileset is a unique, sequentially assigned set of letters and digits used in
system internals.) For example:
•
For the root fileset named ROOT (with device identifier 000000), the file ID of the
default log file is ZX000000.
•
For the temporary fileset named TEMP (with device identifier 00007Z), the file ID of
the default log file is ZX00007Z.
The device identifier is also a field of the INFO FILESET Command display.
A default log file has file code 180 in the Guardian file system and is suitable for use as
an OSS text file with an OSS text editor such as vi. Therefore you can read a default
log file with an OSS text editor.
You can also read a log file with a Guardian text editor after converting the file to an
EDIT file (Guardian file code 101) with the Guardian CTOEDIT utility. However, the
EDIT form of a log file can contain a maximum of 99,999 lines of entries using a line
number increment of 1. To avoid exceeding the limit on EDIT files, you should either
periodically delete the log file after it has been analyzed or use a spooler location for
the log file. When a file-code-180 log file exceeds the maximum size of an EDIT file,
the log file should not be converted but should be read using only an OSS shell utility
such as vi.
The volume list shown in the Phase I output (see Figure 5-4 on page 5-25) is a list of
all disk volumes associated with the fileset. This list is automatically added to the
