I have a large (1.5TB) partition with millions of files on it. e2fsck has been running nearly 12 hours and is still on "Checking directory structure". Any tips for speeding this along?
Kill it. And make sure it doesn't try to do it. There's a known bug with fsck (at least I think it was with CentOS, not *bleah* FC13). On large drives that we're doing online backups, it hits 70% and that's all she wrote: it never ends, and I need to kill it.
