Reviewing the state of the file system
During the start-up process, the /sbin/bcheckrc script executes
/usr/sbin/fsclean. This command determines the shut down status
of the system and returns three possibilities:
1. Proper file system shut down
The startup process continues, and the following message is
displayed:
/usr/sbin/fsclean:/dev/dsk/0s0(root device) ok file system is OK, not running
fsck
2. Improper file system shut down
