backups. As of right now, the single partition, /bkup, is empty.
When booting after an improper shutdown, the system starts the backgrounds

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
because snapshotting takes so much. and even worse - it doesn't work right
at least when i tried in FBSD 6.2.
Simply turn it off.
BTW your backups are mostly big files or mostly small.
make use of newfs options - MUCH less inodes, bigger blocks.
Not only fsck is faster, but it's faster in normal use and you get less
wasted space.
reducing -m make sense too.
