Man, I don't want to even think about doing an FSCK on an 8TB
filesystem running ext[23] at all.
In that size range, you really need a filesystem which doesn't need an
FSCK at all.  Not sure what the real answer is though...
An fs that allows consistency checking while in use, perhaps?
Then it doesn't matter if it takes days, for you can use the fs
in the meantime.
