DESCRIPTION

jfs_fscklog with option I -e device extracts the contents of either the most recent or immediately prior (specified with option R -p ) JFS fsck service log from the specified device, and writes the output to a file. The file name may be specified with the -f option, or the default file name is R <pwd>fscklog.new . If the -p option is used, the default file name is R <pwd>fscklog.old .
jfs_fscklog with option -d formats and displays the contents of the extracted file.
jfs_fscklog with options -d and I -e device extracts and displays the JFS fsck service log.

OPTIONS

I -d
Format and display a previously extracted JFS fsck service log.
I -e device
Extract the JFS fsck service log from device and store it in a file. (device is the special file name corresponding to the actual device from which the fsck log will be extracted (e.g. R /dev/hdb1 )).
I -f file.name
Specify the file name, overriding the default file name. When used with -e R device , file.name specifies the name of the file into which the JFS fsck log will be extracted. When used with R -d , file.name specifies the name of the extracted file whose contents will be formatted and displayed.
R file.name must be 127 characters or less in length.
