tune2fs -i0 -c0 device for each file system Yes that should be default, unfortunately it is not. It's one of the first things I do on new machines. > Thank you very much. The disk worked perfectly well without that "fix" fsck is actually seek bound, most likely it won't make much difference for fsck. Seeky disk IO is always slow on a spinning disk. There's actually been a patchkit recently to make fsck much faster by clustering metadata better so it can be reached with less seeks, but that hasn't reached mainline yet and and will unfortunately require freshly created file systems. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
