Hmm, good point, scrub should move to /usr/sbin. (Granted with many of the distros moving towards /sbin -> /usr/sbin these days it might not make that much difference... :/ ) > I also note that it has dependencies on systemd.

The goal is to be able to handle both systemd and cron environments, and I'm not picking sides. :) (Note that xfs_scrub is still experimental...) --D > Thnx... > > >
