[Linux-cluster] HELP! Diapered block device

[Jon Scottorn]

When I ran the fsck, i had everything unmounted as well as the gnbd serv
stopped.  I let it run for almost 24 hours and it was still running. 
That seems a little long for me.  Should I let it run again and see what
happens.  My main problem is I can't have the FS down for that long. 

Thanks,

Jon
