Booting Problem

Here's some questions:
If the server was idle (e.g. absolutely no processes running aside from
login shell and terminal and no disk access occurring) does it make
sense that the filesystem would have had a problem after being
improperly unmounted?
Also, how long should an 'fsck' on a 500GB partition take? It's been
running for almost 12 hours now, and the latest output is still "Phase 1
- check blocks and sizes"; is something wrong or is fsck still doing its
thing?
