FWIW, to address the implicit ``no one would ever ....'' My employer is currently planning on using several hundred (or more) md disks at a time in an upcoming project. We don't need to have all of the md devices immediately available at boot, so fsck'ing the relatively-small filesystems on them on demand would be much more attractive than doing a single multi-terabyte check up front would be. For various reasons, soft updates aren't a viable option for us right now, so background fsck doesn't help. DworkinReceived on Wed Jan 18 2006 - 23:14:33 UTC
