Hi,
does anyone of you know how long it takes,
to e2fsck (after an unclean shutdown) for example a soft-raid5 array of
a total size of about 40-50 GB
( example : 6 disk with 9GB (UW SCSI) )
assume the machine is a PII300 - PII400
assume that the raid-array is almost filled with data (so that e2fsck
takes longer)
can times go up to 1h ?
Is it very unsafe to remove fsck at boot ?
what about checking /proc/mdstat at boot time and then determining if
e2fsck should be run or not ?
In theory if the array was shut down cleanly , the filesystem should be
in a consistent status.
please correct me in I am wrong .
If you have some time figures , please post theese.
Giulio , do you have some ?
:-)
many thanks,
Benno.
