: I was wondering if anyone has done any work on fsck and very large file
: systems. We have a system that has 126 GB RAID Array. As you can imagine,
: fsck chokes trying to alloc enough blocks to store it's internal data
: structures (128 MB RAM, 128 MB Swap)
:
: We would like to treat this array as a single large disk, and was wondering
: if anyone else had run into this situation, and had a work around.
:
: Note: I know we could just partition the array to two smaller systems
: (which is what we are planning to do if we can't get past this), but I
: thought I'd take a shot and see if anyone else had a work around.

The traditional rule of thumb for swap is to have 2x the swap as you
have main memory. But in your case, considering the size of the
filesystems you have to deal with, I recommend reserving at least 1GB
of swap for the system.
