Um, we've only got some cluster nodes with drives under 750G; most of ours
have that, or 950G, and we're moving a lot to 1T, and some 1.5T. Then
there's large raid arrays. They take a *while* to fsck. Unless I'm having
serious disk problems, I've had to boot using fastboot as a kernel line
parm for grub.
