 |
|
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone got idea about what time it should take to check an entire (and full) 1To Hard Drive.
I don't want to loose anything so I was considerong checking it but it seems to go on and on (and I eventually need to access the data pretty frenquently)
If anyone could share his/her experience, it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance |

This depends on many things. The fs you use, how much of it is full, the hardware of course...
If the fs is not broken, it shouldn't take "too" long. But, just for the record, can you tell us what fs are you using? ext2 will take a lot of time to fsck such a drive. Any journaled fs should be faster. |

I got two, they are both SATA2 in ext3, and used at 94% and 100% (867G for 917G total size)
I tried on my first drive, it took only like half hour and gave me this:
| Code: | /dev/sdb1: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/dev/sdb1: 17916/122109952 files (7.9% non-contiguous), 230942827/244190000 blocks

Is that ok? I didn't see any correction needed |
