You say its very slow.

Does anyone know how much memory fsck needs to check a large filesystem?
Does it take more memory for a larger fs in a linear fashion?  E.g.
OpenBSD needs 1 MB per 1 GB fs size to fsck.  If the box has less memory
than this, fsck hits swap and really slows down.

Is this 1 TB filesystem on the same spindle as your swap partition?
