Is fsck time strictly proportional to disk > size, or does the number of inodes and/or cylinder groups affect it? Yes. It is proportional to the number of inodes (data to be processed), number of cylinder groups (number of zones to seek between) and the complexity of the namespace. With IFS, for example, the fsck time is far from the level it is in FFS. This is simplified, though, of course. Other things come into it as well.
