Old 6.4-RELEASE system. Two filesystems exist, each of which is on its own raid controller. (Background fsck is not workable for various reasons that are tl;dr.) So, theoretically, doing both fscks at the same time is workable, since each of them are on their own controller, and no disk/controller resources are shared. HOWEVER, due to the large size and dense inode usage, we are forced to set: kern.maxdsiz="4096000000" And my question is: If I run two fscks at the same time, do I need to up this to 8192000000, or is this a per-process limit and I can run several processes that big, while leaving the value at 4096000000 ? (16 GB of ram, so either way we're well below) Thanks!
