these must be some really nice disks :] for example only a 200G slice (also 64k/8k) of music/film/picture collection (not even full yet) on a notebook disk (5400 RPM) takes ages: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/sd0d 217G 153G 63.5G 71% 44815 7197423 1% /data $ time sudo fsck -f /dev/sd0d ** /dev/rsd0d ** File system is already clean ** Last Mounted on /data ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups 44815 files, 20076091 used, 8329340 free (13748 frags, 1039449 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) 4m58.26s real 0m22.50s user 0m7.28s system i am more than curious about your amd thread, i am trying to get rid of fsck times by creative disklabeling and mounting read-only... -f -- there are 3 kinds of people: those who can count & those who can't.
