Hi, In fsck_ffs's pass1.c it just takes forever for large sized partitions and also if you have very high number of files stored on that partition (used inodes count goes high).
fsck main limitation is in pass1.c. In pass1.c I found out that it in fact proceeded to check all inodes, but there's a misleading comment there, which says, "Find all allocated blocks". So the original intent was to check only used inodes in that code block but somebody deleted that part of code when compared to FreeBSD. Is there any special reason not to build a used inode list, then only go through it as FreeBSD does? I know they added some stuff in the last year but that part of code has existed for a long time and we don't have it. Why not? I was reading cvs ver 1.46 of pass1.c in FreeBSD. Thanks
