Simon,

FSCK is something for which predicting the most accurate time limit is not possible. FSCK is the process which checks & repairs the file system on the server. It checks for all bad & broken links, repairs them & then joins them again.

The estimate I gave was based on the time it took for the initial period of FSCK which was happening fairly quickly. However, if the bad sectors or links are more in proportion in the later half of the process, then the time I gave was always going to be less.

Even as I speak to you the FSCK is about 60%. Marcus just spoke to you on the phone. Predicting an exact time frame for FSCK is not possible Simon. There have been instances where FSCl's have gone on for almost 40 hours. I am not saying its going to take that long for us. I just wanted to give an anecdote.

There never has, and never will be an intention to dupe or lie to customers. EUK has not done that before & will not do it in the future too. I hope I have made myself & our position clear on this.
