Description
While trying to perform file system consistency check using the command fsck -y /dev/da0s1a, we get the error Could not determine filesystem type.

Resolution
In order to resolve the issue, please use
fsck_ufs instead of
/fsck
Correct Usage: fsck_ufs -y /dev/ad0s1a

In the example, shown above, da0s1a is the device name used by the NetScaler VPX.
The Device name would vary with different models of NetScaler.
You can check the following article as well to verify the device name used by different model of NetScaler

Problem Cause
The reason is that with Free BSD version 8.2 and later fsck needs an entry in fstab to determine the filesystem type.
