I have found that you can get a good salvager disk access pattern by the order
of the entries in your /etc/fstab. This is one of the fstabs from our
Sparc20s running 3.3a
sd1,sd2, and sd3 are 9 gig micropolis 1991 on the main SCSI bus.
sd24,sd25,sd26 and sd27 are 4 gig micropolis 3243WD on a wide diff. SCSI bus.
sd28,sd29,sd30 and sd31 are 4 gig micropolis 3243WD on a wide diff. SCSI bus.
(i'm in the process of moving vicep's from the 9s to the 4s, too many seeks)
Yes, the output of df looks strange but one can always use 'df | sort +5'
PS: the sixth column controls the fsck order.
Just use 'vi'
:.,$!sort
fix the order on the partitions on the same spindle
:.,$!sort +5
