That was my first recovering oeration.
It is about 10 hours 'fsck.ext3' is running now, yet less than half
partition has been scanned. My /usr partition is 2 GB.
Is it possible to pause the process, so as to be able to restart fsck later?
I am not aware of that option.
Has anything shown up in /var/log/syslog to indicate any drive problems?
When you say 'fsck.ext3', did you use '-c -c' or not? If not, it will
only sort out the file system it won't look for bad blocks.
Probably another 12 hrs to go.
