For us, it was faster to transfer the information again. At least this was during the tests. We have never had to do it for real. I guess the time for the fsck depends on the amount of errors that you have. If it has to check only the jurnal the fsck will not take long. But i it has to do a full check of the FS... an rsync may be faster. Marian -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
