That would make +status a lot slower than it is. + +One option is to just put it at the end of the status: + + redundancy: 300% (4 terabytes of copies) + +And ctrl-c if it's taking too long. + +Hmm, fsck looks at that same info. Maybe it could cache the redundancy +level it discovers? Since fsck can be run incrementally, it would be tricky +to get an overall number. And the number would tend to be stale, but +then again it might also be nice if status shows how long ago the last fsck +was. |
