 * since the posixfs scan command has been augmented with an optional
   parameter with opencloud-eu/opencloud#3182,
   this change adds configuration for that command in the first place,
   which was missing altogether

 * addresses but does not close opencloud-eu#1070 since the `posixfs consistency`
   command is not documented by this change

Optionally, one might want to specify resources to scan, using optional arguments that specify paths.

When that path is a directory, it will recurse and perform a storage scan for all the files contained within that directory and all its subdirectories.

should we also mention about scanning space?
like: Scanning can also be performed for an individual space by specifying its storage path.


Administrators can trigger the storage scanning manually. This might be useful during migrations, or when [collaborative mode](../configuration/storage/posixfs.md#posixfs-collaborative-mode) is disabled.

It is recommended practice in such situations, since files that have not been scanned
