If you have to run an fsck at boot could you maybe run iostat -xm after 
it finishes? I have heard of quite a few people that say it takes hours 
to do an fsck on a large volume. Mine used to take about 10 minutes but 
now its up to about 12-13 minutes now that its grown larger. It took a 
while before the fsck started and I didn't run iostat/uptime until a bit 
after it finished which is why I estimate around 12-13 minutes:

I was curious if the time difference is stirctly I/O speed related or 
its not reading as much on mine? This was the fsck time for my 18 Tb 
file-system (14 TB used) on 20x1 TB drives in raid6.
