If I have 3 partitions on 3 disks in a RAID setup what sort of time should I expect when having to run fsck? (similar to time for 1 of those partitions or twice, 3 tiems, etc?) Related question: If I have 1 big partition on an 18Gb SCSI disk is the fsck time likely to be better or worse than if they are split into smaller partitions and appended together (md linear mode)?
