There is something called  FSCK  that is available from panarthea.
You can get an index for panarthea by sending mail to

   	archive-server%panarthea.ebay@sun.com

and include this line:

	index binaries

To get the file I think you want include this line:

	binaries/volume3 fsck
        
To get instructions, include this line:

	help
