Hi Barry,
In the previous test I already used the -M option (no thread).
Using also -P and -o bhash=256 make the memory usage of the new version
of xfs_repair close to the old version with no option for phases
1-5.
This is really useful.
Phase 6 still uses little more memory (killed!).
I will add more memory and will test later.

Thanks,
Daniele P.
