Hello.
I've got a i386/6.1 box with only one big root partition.
The problem is that, whenever the machine is not properly shutdown, fsck
on boot takes eons.
First of all: I believe that fsck should run in background, but it
doesn't. How can I tell why?
Then, back to the heart of the problem, why does it take so long? It's a
9GB SCSI disk and it should be quite fast, although a bit old; it's
speed is for sure enough for day to day work.
Back in the 5.x times fsck used to last definitely less than 5 minutes.
After I upgraded to 6.1 (or maybe after 6.0) it started taking nearly an
hour. It just sits there for eons, the disk barely working, and printing
a line every minute or so.
This regularity makes me think that it might be waiting for something
and then just giving up after timeout. *Like* it is trying to syslog,
although that deamon has not started yet. This is obviously just an
hypotesis, but I thought it might help explain the problem.
Any hint?
bye & Thanks
av.
