remain the default
- - polish up disk-scan progress reporting
- * by default it should be conditional on isatty(2)
- * manual override to enable or disable

- work out what to do about atimes on directories
* one option is to read them during the scan and reinstate them
after each recursion pop. Race-condition prone.

64-bit even if the machine owning the filesystems was only 32.
