I assume you really mean:
wd0a: phase 1, 100000 of 312342 nodes checked
that's just as feasible, but I see no reason to do that, my aim was to
indicate just how much of the disk had been checked.  I'm just doing a
patch that is informative to current status, maybe it shouldn't say the
%age, but the total number to hit, but then it makes it that little bit
more complex, and I've always prefered simplicity.
