Indeed.

So you red the docs? ;)
(I don't use any options on my "regular" scan command)

-E and -N are mutually exclusive. I don't know what happens when you use
both at the same time.

Hey you build a debug version. ;)
outStatus:2 just means the node has "crash" status.

This is logged at the beginning of the packArc function. It's what happens

.qqq files are temporary pkt files that are left when something went wrong
scanning/packing. And are retried the next time fmail is run.
