Maintaining the file system
The file system of the VTS server requires maintenance for optimal performance.
Performing a file system check using fsck
The fsck utility is an operating system utility that checks the consistency of the VTS file system. It is
highly recommended that you run fsck on all disk subsystems, to maintain disk consistency and
health. fsck may run automatically after a reboot and can take several hours to complete. VTS
enables you to control when fsck runs; you can postpone fsck once, thereby allowing you to schedule
downtime to run fsck.
