filename
identifies the affected file.
Cause. The FSCK utility encountered a file-management error on an operation (given 
by operation) on the indicated file because of the error described by error-
number and description. Some common examples of this message are: 
Note that the severity of this message can be either WARNING or ERROR.
Effect. If the severity of the message is ERROR, FSCK terminates abnormally. If the 
severity of the error is WARNING, FSCK attempts to recover from the error by retrying 
the operation.
Recovery. If the severity of the message is WARNING, the message is an 
informational message only; no corrective action is needed.
If the severity of the message is ERROR, recovery actions depend on the specific 
cause of the error. See the related Guardian file-system error explanation in the 
Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual for possible actions.

Cause. The catalog is at a version higher than this version of the FSCK utility can 
handle. The catalog was created by an incompatible version of the OSS file system, 
perhaps from a software release version update (RVU) more recent than the RVU 
containing this copy of FSCK.
This message can indicate that you are attempting an operation on a D40 catalog 
using a version of FSCK preceding the D30.02 RVU.
Effect. The FSCK utility terminates abnormally.
Recovery. Check that the correct catalog is being used. Use a more recent version of 
the OSS Monitor or invoke a more recent version of FSCK.
