Don't know for sure, but I guess that kinda depends on the filesystem
error thats being found?!

I'd wait for the e2fscking to finish, see whats going on, what kind of problem
turns out with the filesystem and then, in case you get it fixed, 
think about migrating to a journaling filesytem.

But first let it finish the e2fsck even though it takes so long.

Any helpful kernel messages?
