CentOS - Dec 2010 - fsck - and there was much rejoicing

Looks like the fsck bug has been stomped! I did a 960G drive this morning,
and I'm 90% of the way through a 1.4T drive, both of which have *lots* of
files and hard links, and it has *not* hung at 70.1%, and is running at
reasonable speed.

Thanks to the folks who got this one. I *really* needed to do this, esp.
to our backup drives.

Hey, let us know how long that 1.4T fsck takes if you don't mind. 
Longwinded e2fsck's are a bane on reboot times on critical VM's, and I
have a number of VM's with 2TB ext3 filesystems, some of which haven't
had an fsck in..... well, too long.

And I'll echo the kudos to the intrepid bug-fixers.  Long and interminable
e2fsck's have been with us a long time.
