Does re-installing the Solaris OS when the existing OS has problems solve the issue?
Problem here I mean "FILE SYSTEM BAD" after a fsck and the machine is not rebooting.
My doubt also includes the question whether all inodes etc in the hard disk of the Sun machine gets re-formatted when we re-install the Solaris OS?
Can someone please help me?
Can you boot into single user mode and then run fsck on '/'? Or is the boot not even reaching that point?
For your other question, when you reinstall Solaris, you will be starting fresh, with a new filesystem. So if its only the filesystem thats trashed in the current OS, you won't face the problem after a reinstall.
Ya I am able to boot into single user mode...
I ran a plain "fsck -y" and that time only it told me that "FILE SYSTEM IS BAD"
You mean I have to run it as "fsck /"
