The problem with fsck
So far, this may not sound like a bad approach to ensuring filesystem consistency, but the solution isn't optimal. Problems arise from the fact that fsck must scan a filesystem's entire meta-data in order to ensure filesystem consistency. Doing a complete consistency check on all meta-data is a time-consuming task in itself, normally taking at least several minutes to complete. Even worse, the bigger the filesystem, the longer this exhaustive scan takes. This is a big problem, because while fsck is doing its thing, your Linux system is effectively offline, and if you have a large amount of filesystem storage, your system could be fsck-ing for half an hour or more. Of course, standard fsck behavior can have devastating results in mission-critical datacenter environments where system uptime is extremely important. Fortunately, there's a better solution.
