he did mention that doing a fsck will take 16 hours ..must be a really big filesystem, largest filesystem I've had to do a fsck on was about 36gigs(anything bigger was usually reiserfs), and that took only a few minutes. Perhaps its a few hundred gig or something.. > In comparison, what happens if your server simply crashes and won't > restart?, or if lots of user data gets corrupted or lost?
