I have a Dell 1950 1U server running FreeBSD 6.3. It's connected to 2.5tb of RAID 6 storage via Fibre Channel. I have setup some 2 tb slices on this array, the problem one being /dev/da0p1. It is throwing errors to the console when people touch a file or two that seems to be fried. The problem is that smbd then races to 100% usage, and cannot be killed. CPU1 and CPU3 are pegged at 100%, or close enough. Sigh. So, what file checking utility should I use for a 2tb slice on a box with 4 gigs of memory? I thought that I had read that you should not use fsck. I am using UFS2 for the file system. Any thoughts? Any? :) Thanks. -Trevor Hearn
