From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> Currently, xfs_scrub_all will try to invoke xfs_scrub with argv[1] being "-n -x". This of course is recognized by C getopt as a weird looking string, not two individual arguments, and causes the child process to exit with complaints about CLI usage. What we really want is to split the string into a proper array and then add them to the xfs_scrub command line. The code here isn't strictly correct, but as @scrub_args@ is controlled by us in the Makefile, it'll do for now. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
