Don't remember the bug report, but on large drives with a *lot* of files -
you know, the kind that you use to back up /home? - if you gave fsck a -C,
so you could see the progress, you knew that it got to, I forget if it was
70% or 70.1%, but at that point, it was dead. Never came back, even
leaving it overnight.
Interestingly enough, just today, there was a report of a bugfix for
e2fsprogs, and one of those may have sounded like it was related.
