Hi Otto, The speedup is very considerable! Thanks a ton for this diff! I didn't find any problems running it on all my fs. I cannot get fsck -p, maybe you have to run in single user mode? But still normal fsck works on all partitions and with much more speed than before. I changed all my large partitions to have -b 65536 -f 8192.
A request to tech@, Can you please consider architecture wise bumps in filesystem defaults to data block size and fragment size such that inodes to be scanned are reduced? When you run fsck you really want it to be correct and if possible faster? I don't know when this fsck diff will get integrated (it is early in cycle!!! wink wink) but defaults can get bumped after discussion.
