Appears you posted this almost 9 hours ago and Lonnie hasn't jumped in
with his XFS chant.  But you definitely want to move you system to XFS
at the first opportunity.  Check the steps and consider moving. XFS will
be included in the 2.6 kernel when it comes out.  Move to XFS and say
goodbye to fsck forever.
