From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> During phases 2-5, xfs_scrub should estimate the level of parallelization possible on the data device to determine the number of threads spawned to scrub filesystem metadata, not just blindly using the number of CPUs. This avoids flooding non-rotational storage with random reads, which totally destroys performance and makes scrub runtimes higher. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
