Hello,
Working on a saturday is rarely fun, especially when there's a problem.
So, your filesystem likely has some serious corruption. FWIW, for
filesystems larger than 3GB, its 1 inode for every 8k, so you're
looking at "only" 20 million or so inodes. However, odds are that most
of those aren't even being used, so you won't have to check them.
Buuut, with serious corruption, you could end up with a badly damaged
filesystem after the fsck, so even when it does complete, you might
still be in trouble.
In any case, the fsck will eventually complete - the time it takes is
dependent on the speed of your host and the speed of the storage. I
used to have a 100GB array that was pretty fast attached to an e4000
that took about 40 minutes to do a full fsck - that yours is taking
much longer could also be indicative of a damaged drive or array (which
could be why it crashed to begin with). Or it could just be a slow
host and storage.
Hope this is helpful - wish I had better news.
Thanks, Matt

Hi All,
First of all let me confess my ignorance about Solaris System
administration, so this might be a naive and improperly worded question.
Is it normal? How long does it typically take? Will it check each and every
possible INODE? If so, how many inodes are there?
From whatever I make out of the documentation, if the file-system is created
without specifying "nbpi" (which I think our sysadmin did) it creates 1
inode for every 2048 bytes of storage.
Our file system is ~140 GB, so does it contain approximately 73 million inodes? If that is the case going by the fact that it has reached I=~1 million in about 4 hours, it will take forever to recover.
