No, reiserFS does the checking as part of the mounting process. It *mounts* the drives slow because of this. Users have sometimes reported 15 minutes mount times for a few terabytes of data (hopefully I don't have that much).
This happens on every computer that will have reiserFS on it; from warty to edgy, on all my five computers. ReiserFS checks a tiny part of itself each time you mount, that does not mean you have hardware issues and that does not mean that your tree is corrupted; hence, this is an annoying "event" that upstart should address (I think). Are you sure this is something that is to be debated on the forums where the thread will be lost in the slew of other topics? -- reiserfs checks are slow https://launchpad.net/bugs/62543 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
