You likely ARE using UFS/FFS2 since the max for FFS1 is 1TB.
There are several way to speedup fsck which are available now:
- Use larger block and fragment sizes when doing a newfs, of course
this requires rebuilding the file system
- Recent versions of OpenBSd have some improvements with fsck that
kick in when the file systems was using softupdates when the system crashed.
- Use a smaller file system
Journalling is interesting but we do not have it.
