This may be a stupid question...;anyway,since images is only a pointer to rimages. what would be the result if you try to fsck /dev/rimages..?

Subject: [aix-l] filesystem corruption
One of my filesystem is corrupted and needs an fsck. From the error logs I noted the major/minor numbers and did an ls -la /dev directory. I found that there are 2 entires with the same major and minor numbers images (brw-rw----) and rimages (crw-rw-----). I know I should fsck only /dev/images filesystem,but Iam curious to know what is rimages entry in the /dev directory..? and what is this used for..?
