Correct, parallelizing them turns horrifying long test runs into
manageable quantities.

FWIW /me usually runs ./check '-g auto,quick,clone,dedupe,fsmap,rmap'
with the following four mkfs configs:

MKFS_OPTIONS='-m reflink=1,rmapbt=1, -i sparse=1, -b size=1024,'
MKFS_OPTIONS='-m reflink=1,rmapbt=1, -i sparse=1,'
MKFS_OPTIONS='-m crc=0,reflink=0,rmapbt=0, -i sparse=0,'
MKFS_OPTIONS='-m crc=0,reflink=0,rmapbt=0, -i sparse=0, -b size=512,'

Eventually I'll turn quotas on all the time too, time permitting.
