Only 30-40 minutes? Depends of course on the CPU speed and amount of memory. So typically terrabytes is a question of how long is a piece of string.
I love the solidity of ext3. If it does check (wasting your time), you have a far better chance to "survive" against the others.

Soooooo.... what you are saying here is that ext3 is broke and I should open bugs for 10.3 and 11.0 Alpha2. The 2 instances I related do not indicate solidity. Accidental power loss should only result in replaying the journal. May be in the PC world such things are acceptible, but I could see mayhem if I were depending on a laptop that had to do fsck.ext3 while carrying out maintenance on a mainframe or large SPARC server. I think, really I know for sure that Mr. Customer would seriously become bent out of shape. Luckily using SuSE/reiserfs I have had no such worry or problem over many years, bleeding edge everything and still rock solid.
Reminds me of a laugh British Airways shared with me about Sun's pitch on Concurrent Maintenance which they were touting as a big plus. Scenario put to Sun, box has a hardware hit. Sun says, blacklist the failing hardware, reboot Solaris and they would change the failing bit without powering the system down, so the customer would suffer no downtime. BA says, "but I would suffer a loss of service whether or not you have to power the system down, my mainframes keep on running when they take hardware hits" -- Sun was stuck for an answer. The answer I suppose is down to the amount of grief you can tolerate. Regards Sid.
It seems to me that just because a Linux OS gives a choice of different available filesystems an argument, errr... a heated discussion, must develop. If we all were running an M$ system what choice of filesystems would we have? In any case, Sid, how many times does one strike a power supply loss? And why would one use a laptop to administer a mainframe or large SPARC server when the power supply in the laptop can go arse-up for no reason? Ciao. -- I was very heavily into pornography.
