top does show fsck.ext4 "running". Without fsck running it shows 99% idle and 0%wait. Running it does show a wait of 25% most of the time....so maybe it is doing something. I guess I'll let it go for a few hours before taking more drastic and maybe irrecoverable action. Like removing the has_journal flag.
