Did I say weeks? I meant the power outage is this week, between November 26 and December 1. Exact time is not known yet.

A few days ago I started a fsck run on a large hard drive using the command

$ sudo fsck -vcck /dev/whatever

I wanted to check the disk for errors. Right now it is several days from finishing.

Unfortunately, SRP is planning on a power outage in the next few weeks, and I WILL lose electrical power to the device when it happens.

Is it safe to Ctrl+C fsck, or am I screwed regardless?

See the Arch Wiki for details on the command:
