Re: [CentOS] fsck - anyway to increase verbosity to show point in process

Greetings,

I'm running CentOS 5.x on one ancient but reasonably reliable machine:

I am running some fsck's on some of the larger drives (750GB and 2TB) that are used for backups. There is a verbosity flag (-V); but because of the size of the drives along with slowness of the processor, the process is taking a long time.

And there is no indication how much of the process has been completed (nothing like a %tage indicator), at least the way that I am running it.

Is this expected, or is there some way of amping up the feedback?

-C gives you nice warm fuzzies, something for you to watch as you fall asleep (it takes a *long* bloody while for big drives, he says from experience.)
