What are factors affecting the time required by fsck?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Can Red Hat tell us how long fsck will take to run on, for example: say for a 1GB file system?
  • What factors can affect this duration? e.g. will a single lun (1 x 100GB) fsck faster than multiple lun (10 x 10 GB)
  • Can fsck be performed concurrently for different file systems at the same time? Will this be faster?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
