If they are involved multiple times with the default options I think any attempt to scrub something that is already being scrubbed is just a no-op. Obviously if you don't want all that IO during the day you'll have to do something more clever - you can instruct it to pause and resume so you could have a couple of crontab entries and scripts to do just that.
Or, since I am the only user of that system, I could go back to my previous way: just run the scrub manually every other month or so before I go to bed. Because then I know that nothing will interfere with it and it won’t interfere with anything else.
Yup. I was thinking that. The problem with scrubs et al auto-resuming or firing at boot is that disk i/o is then knackered for ages, and interferes with whatever it is you're actually trying to do :-)
