getting chkdsk fix errors on C (Vm Virtualbox)

<< < (2/2)

Per E. Johannessen:
If you're able to edit config.sys you could have chkdsk running on the next boot.
The following is from the IBM help-file:

-----
 IFS Command: /AUTOCHECK Parameter

Specifies the drives that the operating system checks at startup time to determine if the file system associated with a drive is in an inconsistent state. A file system could be in an inconsistent state when files were left open. This can happen when:

The computer was turned off without selecting the Shut down choice from the menu of the desktop.

Electrical power to the computer was interrupted.

The OS/2 operating system runs the CHKDSK program with the /F option to correct any problem caused by improper system shutdown. Each time you format a drive for the High Performance File System, the operating system updates the IFS statement in the CONFIG.SYS file with the appropriate AUTOCHECK parameter.

If you place a plus sign (+) in front of any drive letter, the drive will be checked every time the system is started.

Assume the following statement appears in the CONFIG.SYS file:

IFS=C:\OS2\HPFS.IFS /C:64 /AUTOCHECK:D+EF


Each time it starts, the operating system checks drives D, E, and F. If necessary, it runs the CHKDSK program on drives D and F. CHKDSK will always be run on drive E.

Understand. What apply to a JFS filesystem in C: ?

IFS=C:\OS2\JFS.IFS /C:64 /AUTOCHECK:C

is this the command to append in config.sys?

Per E. Johannessen:
Not at my system right now, but found this:
