Hey guys... I just installed 7.2 on a 1.5TB RAID 5. I'm using about 10GB for the system and swap, and the rest for a single large partition to be used for backups. As of right now, the single partition, /bkup, is empty.
When booting after an improper shutdown, the system starts the backgrounds fsck as usual and on all the other partitions, seem to take the "normal" amount of time. When it gets to the dirty /bkup however, fsck takes about 30 minutes - on an empty partition. On top of that, running a df shows that as much as 2GB of the partition is in use. There's a .snap directory off /bkup, but I can't ls it without the shell hanging. Is this normal behavior? Why is the fsck taking so long on an empty drive? What's the .snap dir for since I haven't run any dumps? Disk access on the rest of the system seems fine, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the RAID itself. Thanks. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
