Are you getting any kernel IO errors logged during that part of the
fsck?

Yes, you can get around that. "man tune2fs":
-f Force the tune2fs operation to complete even in the face of
errors. This option is useful when removing the has_journal
filesystem feature from a filesystem which has an external jour-
nal (or is corrupted such that it appears to have an external
journal), but that external journal is not available.
WARNING: Removing an external journal from a filesystem which
was not cleanly unmounted without first replaying the external
journal can result in severe data loss and filesystem corrup-
tion.
Cheers,
Stephen
