Hi *,

fsck(8) tell me about how to fsck filesystems parallel on a "per drive"
basis:

     In preen mode, after pass 1 completes, all remaining file systems are
     checked, in pass number order running one process per disk drive in pa=
r-
     allel for each pass number in increasing order.

     In other words: In preen mode all pass 1 partitions are checked sequen-
     tially.  Next all pass 2 partitions are checked in parallel, one proce=
ss
     per disk drive.  Next all pass 3 partitions are checked in parallel, o=
ne
     process per disk drive.  etc.

     The disk drive containing each file system is inferred from the shorte=
st
     prefix of the device name that ends in a digit; the remaining characte=
rs
     are assumed to be the partition and slice designators.

my /etc/fstab looks like this:

/dev/ufs/ROOT           /                       ufs     rw 1 1
/dev/ufs/VAR            /var                    ufs     rw 2 2
/dev/ufs/USR            /usr                    ufs     rw 2 2
/dev/ufs/DATA2          /data                   ufs     rw 2 2
/dev/ufs/SPACE          /space                  ufs     rw 2 2
/dev/ufs/MULTIMEDIA     /data/multimedia        ufs     rw 2 2
/dev/ufs/HOME2          /home                   ufs     rw 0 0
/dev/ufs/PRIVATE        /private                ufs     rw 0 0

Some of the filesystems are on top of a partition/label, others are on=20
top of a geli device, others may be md-devices etc.=20

Is fsck able to find out the "real hardware"? Is fsck "geom-aware"?

Regards
Raphael
