Reminder - you should not expect fsck to work correctly on a mounted
file system in AIXV3.  To actually check/repair /dev/hd4, which is
mounted as root, you must 

1.  boot from diskette.
2.  select maint. mode
3.  type /etc/continue hdisk0 exit   (replace hdisk0 with boot disk if
	not hdisk0)
4.  now fsck /dev/hd4
