What command are you using and what is the exact error message? 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).
