Thanks a lot to everyone who replied. I only wish I knew why it was both machines crap out while trying to do this. Maybe it'd help if I brought another 4.x machine up to to 5.0 to test that. Has anyone with a >100GB slice any info to share as to success using background fsck's? Does it seem slower (significantly) than the old method?
