The worst case - a lots (millons) of small files.
But even in that case on average today hardware it should not take more
than 4-5 hours for 60gb filesystem.
Please inform us how does it progress. Pass 0 is the longest usually.


It ran, fixed some errors, and now I have my system back (plus a bunch of 
portage files in lost+found). Yippy!
Now I should go a buy that DVD-R I was thinking of getting, and make sure I 
have proper backups :-)


Not sure about this.. but I have observed that some systems trash resierfs3 pretty badly, while others do not. The problem seems a bit worse with LVM. For example a Compaq n610c laptop will trash reiserfs3 on hard shutdown or crash about 1 out of every 3 times (with entire directory trees going to lost+found even though no writes involved the files there). Likewise for my dual AMD using the Tyan S2468UGN mb. But my laptop, Toshiba 3000-s504 is fine. And my dual Opteron (Sun w2100z) is fine. These can be crashed, powered off without everything going into lost+found. I suspect something is up.. and it may be chipset related (??).

Can't explain it.... just what I've observed.
