Zfsauton scratch maintenance

[Piotr Bartosiewicz]

Hi,
  /zfsauton/scratch is back online.

Because of how the filesystem works, performance modification only applies
to new or rewritten files.

Copy your data in your scratch directories.

For example:
1. Copy your old folder to a temporary new folder
rsync -aHAX --progress /zfsauton//scratch/username/current_directory/
/zfsauton//scratch/username/new_directory/

2. Swap the names
mv /current_directory /old_directory
mv /new_directory /current_directory

3. Delete the old dir
rm -rf /old_directory

If you have any questions or issues please let me know.
Piotr.
