[Bug 1567567] Re: fsck taking way too long 20 hours & still going

[DD Park]

No erros, I do see hd lights going on, I do see on Top program that the
CPU% changes and fluctuates so I guess something is going on. I saw some
messages with the superblock (when ran e2image - i sent those to you in
different email). so I wanted to try with a different superblock (not to
familiar with this process, but gave it a go). I suspect that this is
related to >16TB and I guess this problem won't happen <16TB. I've never
seen this problem on any of my other <16T servers.

  Hi, I have a 24T file system ext4, ran fsck. It is running fsck for 20 hours so far and looks like it will keep on going. 
  The system is not a slow machine at all, relatively new server.
  I checked top and saw that CPU usage was not high. I seen similar problem like this before but CPU usage
  was high in the past.

  I'm using ubuntu-14.04.4 lts. and running this on the 2nd extra copy of the superblock. I didn't want to
  do it with the main copy. I ran e2image -r -s  on the main superblock but it wouldn't create an image file.

  I doubt that anything useful is happening and I don't know how to debug this further so please advise
  if I should keep it going else I'm likely to shut it down soon
