is it possible to split the jobs?  I do that a lot, my biggest servers
have 30 different jobs, e.g. /srv/data1/*0 in one job, /srv/data1/*1 in
another job ... and so on.  that configuration is written in a template
language (ERB in my case) to make it readable and less error prone.
(unfortunately, my /srv/data2/*4 job still takes more than two days and
I can't split it further sensibly :-/)

you need a separate Storage and Device definition for each pool.
