FSCK Inconsistency and Error Messages
Recovery. If the REPAIR option was not specified or the REPAIR NONE option was 
specified in the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) DIAGNOSE FILESET command, the 
catalog is still in an inconsistent state. Reissue the command with the REPAIR ALL 
option. 
If the REPAIR SERIOUS, REPAIR OPEN, or REPAIR ALL option was specified in the 
command, this is an informational message only; no corrective action is needed.
208 
nnn
indicates the number of affected inode numbers.
Cause. There are nnn inode numbers for which there were neither records in the 
PXINODE file nor entries in the free inode tables. 
Effect. These inode numbers are recorded as free in the new PXINODE file. 
Recovery. If the REPAIR ALL option was not specified in the Subsystem Control 
Facility (SCF) DIAGNOSE FILESET command, the catalog is still in an inconsistent 
state. Reissue the command with the REPAIR ALL option.
If the REPAIR ALL option was specified in the command, this is an informational 
message only; no corrective action is needed.
209 
inode-number
indicates the affected inode.
For the MINOR message:
Cause. A record with the indicated invalid inode number as a key was found in the 
current PXINODE file. The inode number falls within the range reserved for future 
special inodes. 
Effect. The record is assigned a currently unused inode number in the new PXINODE 
file, and all links to and from the file are mapped to the new inode number. If the inode 
represents a regular file, the corresponding ZYQ file is renamed to reflect the new 
inode number.
Recovery. Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.
For the SERIOUS message:
MINOR 208 - There are nnn Inode Numbers Unaccounted For 
{ MINOR | SERIOUS } 209 - Invalid Inode Number,
Inode=inode-number
