B) What Cisco reps could NOT explain was the existence of a number of FSCK000#.REC files on these appliances. To be 
more specific each of ASAs in question contains 4 extra files: FSCK0000.REC, FSCK0001.REC, FSCK0002.REC, FSCK0003.REC). 
I said 'extra' because I asked the Cisco reps on phone to provide me a complete list of files that should exist on a 
brand new ASA, and the 4 files above were not part of the list and I think even they got confused when I mentioned the 
existence of these files.

I could not find much info on these files, but a simple Google search indicates that these files may be 'recovery 
files' of Disks operating under Unix/Linux/BSD/etc /... kernel, indicating a dying hard drive. That would be enough to 
freak me out! Anyone can confirm this?

I would greatly appreciate any input, especially on B)

Send the files to a *nix box and run it through "strings".
