Hello,

I have question regarding fsck implementation on AIX. I suspect - fsck
is checking info included in FS superblock. Is there any way to force
full scan even if I know that FS is healthly? I want to get fsck time
for 4 TB FS. Thanks in advance

You could edit your filesystem using fsdb and set the s_state
structure in the primary superblock to FM_DIRTY. Then a run of fsck -
y --p should correct everything. Make sure you have a backup first.
I would estimate 4TB fsck to take about an hour.
