    No. The machine's already started to boot by the time it's checking
    filesystems.

    If you're worried about a potential problem with an application filesystem
    being exacerbated, the best thing you could do is remove all your
    auto-mounts and build suitable logic into your application startup scripts
    to check everything in appropriate detail first.

    Subject: AIX 4.3 Kernel IPL's on a corrupt filesystem, no good.
    Is there a way I can tell my aix 4.3.3.11 kernel to not IPL if it encounters
    a major corrupt filesystem?
