FSCK when a system Hard boots.

Hi all,

I have been doing some reading on the fsck command on my solaris server.
I have a problem I would like some help on.

When my server hard boots I get the error telling me that there are some
file systems that I have to manually run fsck for manually before the
machine boots up.

I am wondering if there is a way I can tell fsck to run with the -y
command so that it automatically tries to fix any problems it comes up
with when trying to do its boot scan. Reason for this is that if the
system fails in the middle of the night I would like it to come back up
with as little operator intervention as possible.

When the fsck fails on system startup I will run the fsck -y command
manually anyway.

Is this advisable? I have tried to look into the documentation with not
much luck on this. Also is there anyway that I can simulate or make a
particular file system fail so that I can test this automatic check
works.

Your help or comments are highly appreciated.

Thanks

Andrew Luande
