Linux & File System Checks
Does any know how long a file system check should take on a 160GB hard drive running Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) with 4GB RAM.

There are a number of variables including drive speed, number of files, file system (assuming this is ext4), etc.

The server in question receives public traffic. Is there a way to determine the worst case scenario?

Hi,
You might never guess the time. Since you're doing a check I assume you're expecting some trouble with the disk. If there are some then the time ill be longer depending on how many problems are located. But if you want to check a disk without a problem I'd assume it would take a few minutes.
The best way is to test it for yourself and decide.
