I'm having an issue on a couple of my RHEL3 servers that have some filesystems on them that are pretty large. These are all ext3 filesystems on SAN storage. Unfortunately, when we need to fsck these filesystems, they can take anywhere from 3 to 12 hours each. We have similar sized journaled filesystems on AIX and Solaris systems that don't have these fsck times. Since ext3 is also journaled, we would expect the fsck times to be similar. I was looking at the various journaling modes, but I'm not sure if that would help the fsck performance necessarily. In particular, I was thinking of journaling both the data and the metadata. Does anyone have any suggestions for performance tuning, mount options, etc that would improve fsck performance?
