I am running SCO 5.02 and Informix 6 on a Compaq server. When booting I get
the following message " fsstat:/dev/u needs checking
mount: possibly damaged file system, mount failed: no space left on device
{error 28). when I run fschk it will not choose the /dev/u as it is not
mounted and I cannot mount. there looks to be room on the u drive. What do
I use the check the u file system? Do I do this in Sigle User Mode? What
would the actual command be including switches?
Thanks, in advance.

What command are you using and what is the exact error message? A drive
is supposed to be unmounted when you run fsck. You can't check the
amount of free space on an unmounted drive. If /dev/u is not mounted,
"df /dev/u" will show the amount of free space on the filesystem where
/dev is located, probably / on an SCO system. (/dev is a separate
filesystem in current Linux distributions).
