 The fsck is still running in its sixth day.

 The data itself would be still very handy but I have got most from an
older backup meanwhile.

 Can stopping fsck.ext4 now damage things even more?

 The patches mentioned, do they apply to the fsck.ext4-source? What do I
need to compile, are kernel-headers, build-essential and basic knowledge
about patch+make fine?

 While getting the data back fast would be nifty I am already at the
point I'll just try to get experience out of the situation, not
necesserily my data.
