Out of memory. Not surprising - 5.6To of filesystem could take between
10-20GB of RAM to repair successfully. Can't do that on a 32bit machine.

Repair duration is determined by the number of inodes in the filesystem.
Given the runtime you are reporting, I'd say you've got millions (perhaps
even tens of milllions) of inodes in the filesystem. Is that correct?
