Yes, it does!

That was a typo of me when typing this e-mail. It is scanning the *data* pool at the moment.

Can you confirm that the worker_n and worker_m arguments are the correct ones?

Didn't know that. In this case the metadata pool is missing objects due to that lost PG.

I think the scan_extents and scan_inodes on the *data* pool is the correct way to rebuild the metadata pool if it is missing objects, right?
