Table A-5 describes the significance of responses to Phase 5 prompts:

Meanings of Phase 5 fsck Responses
Prompt Response Meaning
CONTINUE? n Terminate the command.
CONTINUE? y Ignore the rest of the free-block list and continue execution of fsck. This error condition always invokes a BAD BLKS IN FREE LIST error condition later in Phase 5.
FIX? n Ignore the error condition. A "no" response is appropriate only if the user intends to take other action to fix the problem.
FIX? y Replace count in superblock by actual count.
SALVAGE? n Ignore the error condition. A "no" response is appropriate only if the user intends to take other action to fix the problem.
SALVAGE? y Replace actual free-block bitmap with a new free-block bitmap.
