While rebuilding my file system's tree today, I noticed this message:
####### Pass 1 #######
Looking for allocable blocks .. fininshed
And a quick comment: the program doesn't really give much indication of
how long rebuilding the tree will take. When I started I certainly had
no idea that it would take over 4 hours (it hasn't finished yet, but I
think its getting close now...) to complete, and if I knew I would
probably have left the operation until I had more time available.
Read-only access to the file system would have been useful, but
unfortunately that option was not left open to me by the time I realised
that the operation would take so long...

Thanks for your correction. Vitaly, how about collecting a table of
statistics for completion time for various pieces of hardware, and
asking the user if he would like to see it before starting fsck?
