1.6T ext3 filesystem on external storage device goes read only

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • 1.6T ext3 fs goes read only
  • When I do an fsck on the fs, can't afford it to be down, run fsck until i get one of those fixes, once it corrects something, I let it go a little bit longer and then stop it.

Environment
