I wake up to the server fiddling extents at extent #128730550272. The hardest bit is knowing what the progress is… the number alone is meaningless unless I know what the total number of extents is.
Some might suggest at this point I hit ^C, reformat the volume and restore from a back-up. If I have to do that, I think I'll be re-formatting XFS not BTRFS.
