Running "e2fsck --mdsdb" will take _much_ longer than a regular e2fsck, because 
the mdsdb database is sparsely written.  I would recommend not running the old 
e2fsprogs-based lfsck, since Lustre 2.5 has enough functionality to repair the 
Lustre-specific parts of the local filesystem (after a regular e2fsck), and 
Lustre 2.7 will also fix the MDT-OST consistency (orphan objects and dangling 
MDT layout references).

Cheers, Andreas

Sorry about spamming the list but I realize it may be better that subjects be 
split into threads....
I started e2fsck --mdsdb 6 hours ago on an MDT that is 1T in size, am I being 
unreasonable if I think it should have been done by now?
What type of runtimes have you seen?
I shudder to think how long this is going to take on the OSTs if this is normal 
runtime....

Thanks,
Eli
