[Lustre-discuss] e2fsck-wc4 speed

[Samuel Aparicio]

I wonder if using a scratch file would be any faster than having the system do the paging.

frustratingly, fewer than 5% of the inodes have been identified by fsck as suspect and I would be happy to delete them just to get the remaining files back online.
