    Ok, I was wondering if anyone out that had written a script that I could use in single-user mode on an G5 Xserve (10.3.x server) to run fsck on the boot drive and other volumes (like an XRAID).

    The problem is I have multiple G5 Xserves that are running headless (no video card) and have Apple’s HW RAID card installed, so I can boot them using FW target disk mode.

    Needless to say this makes it difficult to run diagnostics on them.

    Basically I need a script that would automatically run fsck when the machine booted into single-user mode and then dump the results to a log file I could check later. It would be nice if it would also run fsck on other volumes than the boot volume since some of these xserves are connected to XRAIDs.

    I thought i’d check before I wrote one myself.

    Anybody ever see anything like this or have any ideas on how to write one?
