I have this:
/dev/hda6 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 /usr/local/apache/logs ext2 defaults 1 3
/dev/md0 /home ext2 defaults,usrquota 1 0
/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/md0 was in 4. now it is 0
it was very very slow between 80% & 95% then it was very quick.
doing it handly it is very quick all time:
/dev/md0 17251748 9969024 6406384 61% /home

so why fsck making handly is quicker ?
