I'm running proxmox 2.2 on one of my servers, we had a UPS fail which caused a power failure to the system. Upon reboot the server outputs the following:

Setting parameters fo discs: (none).
Activating swap...done.
Checking root file system... fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/dev/mapper/pve-root: clean, 69494/6291456 files, 2235656/25165824 blocks
done.
Cleaning up ifupdown....
Loading kernel modules...done.
Setting up networking....
Setting up LVM Volume Groups Reading all phsyical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "pve" using metadata type lvm2
3 logical volumes in volume group "pve" now active
Activating lvm and md swap...done.
Checking file systems... fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/dev/mapper/pve-data has gone 201 days without being checked, check forced.
/dev/mapper/pve-data: |= / 3.0%

This server then hangs and will not go any further. Any ideas on where to start? I am pretty new to proxmox and didn't want to fool with it too much until I got some ideas from you guys. Thanks in advance.

I added fastboot to the kernel line and bypassed it for now. Does proxmox run this only on reboot? How often should this be run to prevent this issue from re-occurring?
 
Like hotwired007 said, it's true. For example my 5.5 TB volume can hang for 3-5 minutes during scan. fsck is terribly slow for ext3 filesystem.

how big is the pve-data and how much data is in use? it might have not hung just taken time to run the check...

Pve-data is 3.7TB and 978GB is in use. I am going to restart it again when I get the chance today and time it, but I let it sit for at least 5-10 minutes with zero movement. If that's normal then I'll give it another try, it just seemed odd to hang there. Thanks for the info.
