There are several way to speedup fsck which are available now:
- Use larger block and fragment sizes when doing a newfs, of course

- Use a smaller file system
Hello Otto,
is use of lower inode density while keeping the rest as default possible
alternative or not? It seems to work. Does it have any adverse effect?
Provided one doesn't have several-TB file system full of hundreds millions
tiny files, of course, but then it is not any better than larger blocks
and fragments. And both solutions reduce memory needed for fsck.
Thanks for your answer.
