Meter-merging a parallel preen is difficult; the processes run 
separately, and the parallelism is "one worker per disk", not "one 
worker per file system to check", so it is staged if you have multiple 
file systems per disk.

It's a complicated thing to merge all that output, I made the conscious 
decision not to do it, and I don't intend to change my mind on the 
issue.
