Heh,

The record for xfs_repair was over 7 days - trust me, you do not have a large
filesystem.

There was an effort to multithread repair because of this, problem is, most of
the passes are not actually independent, and I think at the end of the day
the speedup was nominal - if my memory serves me right. It is certainly an area
which needs help though.
