Since its only the /usr directory (presumably its own partition), don't

That was my first recovering oeration.
It is about 10 hours 'fsck.ext3' is running now, yet less than half
partition has been scanned. My /usr partition is 2 GB.
Is it possible to pause the process, so as to be able to restart fsck later?
I am not aware of that option.
Has anything shown up in /var/log/syslog to indicate any drive problems?
When you say 'fsck.ext3', did you use '-c -c' or not? If not, it will
only sort out the file system it won't look for bad blocks.
Probably another 12 hrs to go.
For a 2GB partition...
Which is why Smart People are working on a Linux fs that doesn't
need to be fsck'ed. Sadly, I think they are doomed to failure (or
fated to only partial success), because IMO speed is the polar
opposite of data security.
