5.1 File System Management
5.1.1 Maintenance
Use fsck to examine the disk partitions at startup. The only time this should be disabled (e.g. fasthalt/fastboot, SunOS 4.1.X only) is if you are testing the boot procedure or a new kernel. Under SunOS 4.1.2 and above if you bring the system down cleanly the disk partitions will be marked FSCLEAN. The fsck will notice this and skip the check. This is okay. If the system has not come down cleanly then be sure to force fsck to check the disk the next time you boot.
