<DIV><FONT color=#000080>Can you give us the more details according to the

<DIV>The variables in your question are numerous:</DIV>
<DIV>- size of the filesystem</DIV>
<DIV>- number of inodes</DIV>
<DIV>- number of allocated blocks</DIV>
<DIV>- distribution of the above on the disk</DIV>
<DIV>- speed of the disks</DIV>
<DIV>- speed of the CPU</DIV>
<DIV>- amount of RAM on server</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Reasonable e2fsck times (without serious filesystem problems) might</DIV>
<DIV>take between 5 minutes and 2 hours.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Cheers, Andreas</DIV>
