ABSTRACT:
The system and method described herein automatically detect various corruptions in a file system and notify a system administrator of the corruption. Detailed information on the file system is collected by a probe process. If the file system is corrupt or inaccessible, the system and method marks the file system as bad, notifies the system administrator and then ceases to attempt to collect information on that system again until it has been repaired.
