I might want to be more carefull with the logic. If the partition is small
then the fsck does not hurt much but if it is large then they can be
painfully slow. try something more like the following...
vnconfig /dev/vn0 /prisons/1a
mount /dev/vn0c /mnt/point
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
fsck -y /dev/vn0
mount /dev/vn0c /mnt/point
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
echo Mount fails even after fsck. Better check this by hand
fi
fi
/mnt/point/apachectl start
Using fsck -y will allow fsck to create files in lost+found if it
has to. It also enables some repairs that can cause other data
loss.
BTW. softupdates might also give you some performance advantages
on peudo disk device filesystems.
