A user with 4× 14 TB WD HDDs running -w surface_validate had all
4 jobs marked 'unknown' at exactly 24h+1min — the stuck-job
detector firing on legitimate work because 14 TB at 8192-block
badblocks needs ~5+ days to complete all 4 patterns × 2 phases.
168h covers a full -w pass on 14 TB+ HDDs with margin. Anyone
running short SSDs who wants faster detection can drop the value
in Settings → Burn-in.
README warning replaced — no longer instructs users to bump the
threshold before starting big-drive burn-ins, since the default
now handles that case.
Settings UI already accepts up to 168 via the input's max=168
attribute, so no template change needed.
