You need to unmount the drive before fsck'ing it, which you can't do unless all services / processes using files on that drive have also been killed, so effectively you need to take the machine down anyway. There's probably cleverer ways to do this, but a few hours down time a year doesn't worry me too much. The machine had been up for 70 days prior to this, but I needed to reboot to patch the kernel. For what it's worth, the record uptime for this particalar server is 177 days. The uptime record for the other fgfs server is 156 days. No where close to a world record, but these uptime streaks are interrupted by the need to do various admin tasks (upgrade hardware, security patches, etc.) and *not* because the machine died or crashed.
