Hmmm, I didn't record the numbers. It could be that fsck is swapping
in your case, which will make it very slow. Can your check that?
It doesn't start swapping. I was wrong about the speed improvement,
currently I have only 2 million files on that disc, but fsck took
only 6 minutes with block size of 64k and fragment size of 8k. I didn't
try bigger fragment sizes because I wasn't sure if newfs' message
about degraded performance was true or not. It wastes a lot of
space though, just like you said but that isn't bad because I get
about 100 days worth of full backups with the current setup.
My script just needs some extra checks so that it won't use up
all the inodes on that disc ;-)
I also repartitioned my disc to have little root fs and separate
partitions for /var /tmp and /backups. /backups is set up so
that it doesn't fsck it while booting and noauto flag is also set.
At least now it will come back online as fast as possible. Just
like Nick suggested earlier.
It seems there is something different with newer kernels than 3.8.
I tried booting 3.9/bsd.rd and it failed when probing for pciide0.
I noticed that it doesn't get the chip's model right, it says VIA
VT6420 SATA instead of the 8237. I fetched 20 mins ago snapshot/bsd.rd
from openbsd.org and it didn't help. I attached the dmesg from the 3.8
that boots correctly now that I finally got it networked.
