Answer / babar

I dont think you can check FS on unmounted slice.

etc/vfstab only tells you about FS mounted/to e mounted at
system boot.

#df -h only tells you mounted FS

and fsck only check and allow you to fix any errors. it
doesn't tells you about the FS on slice.

Answer / mukram

In that case mount the perticular slice on /mnt and check
the contents. if it is umounted, check
the /var/adm/messages file , u can see the message of
umounting for that filesytem.
Else Mostly, there will be old explorer files availble in
the system . we can refer to them.
