see man page, or here: http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/q...g_chkfsys.html
chkfsys will return nonzero in case of problems.

you need to use $ in your test command:
if test $STATUS -ne 0

questions:

If you know how to use the chkfsys utility, then you should know what it returns...especially since the man page TELLS YOU.
Quote:

This is your script...YOU made the decisions however you'd like. Check the return code, and act on whatever you find.
Quote:

You know by CHECKING THE OUTPUT of the command you ran

...which is VERY similar to your other thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...em-4175511911/

You're getting "not found", because you just put "chkfsys" in your script, probably. Try putting the whole path into the script...and again, reading the bash scripting tutorials wouldn't be a bad idea.

Since it's CORRUPTED, obviously not. Please see any of your other numerous threads about partitions for more hints to help you get going.
