I'm currently working with a testing system that involves running mkfs.ext3 on some pretty large devices on a regular basis. This is getting fairly painful, and I was wondering if there was some way to speed this up. Understood that the end result might be a filesystem that has less of a safety factor (say, fewer superblock backups) but the tradeoff might be worth it in this case.
