I had a large partition with reiserfs. Running fsck always failed due to running out of memory. Partition was quite a bit larger than 2TB (around 6TB) and contained a huge (millions) amount of files, but having an fsck become impossible with 16GB memory available was rather annoying. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
