Oh, repair on a 300T filesystem -wil-l be painful anywhere, I think,
unfortunately.
There's a big difference between painful (waiting days, weeks? for an
fsck), and impossible (needing more physical memory than can be installed)
to do the fsck.
One fs this large seems like a recipe for trouble. What are you planning
on storing?
