Wouldn't be easier just to split your users between differentfilesystems? I mean having different altstorages, but not as you propose but one for the half of your users and other for the other half.
For sure we DO have users split up into several 5 TB-partitions. This helps a little, but not a lot. And it creates some extra work and some extra sources of errors: You'll need Symlinks on the "real" fs or a user-dependend storage path in LDAP.
But anyway, those partitions are tooo big for short filesystem checks (or if you make them smaller, you'd have too many).
And, anyway: As I explained I'm interested in zero-downtime-checks, which wouldn't work just with several partitions.
