Re: fsck, pass number and lvm
Just bear in mind the logical volume's physical location, eg fscking 10 LV's on one PV at the same time will be slower than fscking 10 LV's on 10 separate PV's.

Re: fsck, pass number and lvm
I recommend against this. The benefit due to disk layout and i/o contention is negligible and it violates a simple principle of not changing procedures that assure system integrity.

SolutionNow for VxFS filesystems, fsck takes just a few seconds per filesystem so the need for separate passes is significantly reduced. On a small server or workstation, fsck will not be much of an issue. But on a server with dozens or even hundreds of mountpoints, creating separate passes does make sense, even when fsck needs only a few seconds. Even so, the fsck passes should not be more than a minute or two during a forced (not clean) reboot. And on a properly patched system that has proper power protection, an unexpected reboot may only occur every couple of years or longer.

Re: fsck, pass number and lvm
This is not much important in present scenarios where the LVOLs having VxFS file systems only take a few seconds each to complete this process. We have systems having upto 60 mount points and in case of one such situation it only takes a max of 2-3 minutes in doing the whole mounting causing us not to think about tuning such parameters.
