Hi, After our big ext3 file server crashes, I notice the fsck spends some time replaying the journals (about 5-10 mins for all volumes on the server in question). I guess it must do this should you want to mount the volumes as ext2. My question--is it (theoretically) possible to tell fsck only to replay half-finished and to knock out incomplete transactions from the journals, leaving the kernel to replay the good ones in its own time, possibly reducing downtime by a few minutes? Or might this break assumptions the kernel code makes? Or is it totally impossible and ridiculous? :) Matt
