migration process issue

Migration processes runs only 1 process per node. For example if I have a proxy node with terabytes of data on my diskpool, it will start just 1 process to move it all ! That's not feasable in a 12 hr maintenance window to move all data out of the diskpool with just 1 process. So I have to set a script to run multiple move data at a time, so i can empty my diskpool in time. Migration algorithm needs to be changed to be ran per volume or filespace or some other method, and NOT per node !
