I run regular btrfs scrubs through btrfsmaintenance on my disk array without

running so that I can file a bug if this is one.

Which package do I file this against? I believe it's in the Linux kernel not
btrfs-progs, but I thought I would ask since I'm new to this.

Reported to the btrfs list last year, doesn't look like there's
any followup. Check out your time left calculation, too.

They mention "When the filesystem has grown during scrub...". I'm not sure if 
they mean they increased the size of the FS while it was scrubbing. Definitely not a good 
idea, IMO.

It is probably significant that over the last year, I see a fair
number of issues with crashes and unrecoverable data on the btrfs list.

I've been using Btrfs for several years. It works quite well. I chose it over 
ZFS for its flexibility. The only issues I had are mostly my idiocy. Thankfully 
I was able to recover and didn't lose any data.

Just a data point ;)

On the ZFS list, most of the discussion is about optimal
configurations.

An update about the scrub: an hour or so later the percentage went back to 1%. 
I don't remember what happened to the other parameters, but I just cancelled it 
anyway. I didn't have any errors, thankfully, as usual.
