Just the usual output:

[root at xback1 ~]# fsck /dev/xbackup1/xback1_backup1
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
/dev/xbackup1/xback1_backup1 has gone 191 days without being checked, check
forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure

And hangs indefinitely.
