A full fsck of a 2 drive unit may well take an hour or so each drive (absolute maximum). It doesn't do it every time, just about every 30(?) syncs.

We're adding progress reporting to fsck, which will let you know that it's still working and show you how far it has got. emplode will also respond to windows, so you'll be sure that it hasn't gone wrong.

We're always looking at other options, but safety of the data is the prime concern, hence why we perform the fsck.
