U drive will not mount

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. Ron

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).
