  * Future enhancements:
- *  - To enhance the performance, better read-ahead strategies for the
- *    extent-tree can be employed.
  *  - In case an unrepairable extent is encountered, track which files are
  *    affected and report them
  *  - In case of a read error on files with nodatasum, map the file and read
  *    the extent to trigger a writeback of the good copy
  *  - track and record media errors, throw out bad devices
  *  - add a mode to also read unallocated space
- *  - make the prefetch cancellable
