That's my paraphrase of what it says, thus the "suggests", but I do specifically quote, with "the manpage specifically says" and quote marks, so it's pretty hard to miss, which I /thought/, along with "suggests", should make it clear that I was NOT specifically quoting the manpage in the bullet-point.

No, just both a slightly more specific part of the manpage, under scrub start, and a mistake in believing "suggests" implies or explicitly specifies a direct quote, even when a direct quote is later actually made, complete with quotation marks and "the manpage specifically says" attribution. btrfs-progs v4.3.1, if it matters. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
