Mar 18, 2020 · A scrub operation will read ALL data, both primary and parity data. So if you are resilvering a mirror or raidz1, they are equivalent as resilver has to read all the surviving data. If you are resilvering a 3-way mirror, raidz2 or raidz3, resilver will not read all of the surviving data, so in those cases, scrub and resilver are not equivalent.

Oct 6, 2021 · Schedule a scrub via cron. Edit your cronfile with the following command: sudo crontab -e. Add a line like the following: 0 2 20 */2 * /sbin/zpool scrub theNameOfYourPool. You can use crontab.guru to build your desired schedule.

Aug 18, 2023 · A “scrub” is when ZFS scans the data on a pool. Scrubs identify data integrity problems, detect silent data corruptions caused by transient hardware issues, and provide early disk failure alerts. Edit Default Scrub Tasks

Feb 8, 2019 · Yes we do, we still backup to tape. One copy stays onsite while a second copy is stored offsite forever. I have just over 500TB of data spread across six ZFS storage servers that replicate all snapshots to another six identical ZFS storage servers as a hot spinning copy backup. I'm super paranoid.

Aug 6, 2022 · SMR disks are not recommend for use with ZFS, since when ZFS rebuilds (resilvers) data during the replacement of a failed disk, it will be ~15x slower to rebuild the data onto an SMR disk compared to CMR. If you had a CMR array that takes 6h to resilver a failed disk, then a comparable SMR array would take nearly 4 days to resilver a new disk.

Jul 11, 2024 · TrueNAS needs at least one data pool to create scrub task. To create a scrub task for a pool, go to Data Protection and click ADD in the Scrub Tasks window.

Jan 15, 2021 · Pre-0.8.x scrubs by traversing all metadata and data, as they are layed out on disks. This causes many seeks that kills performance on mechanical disks. If used with low-perf 5K RPM disks filled with millions of small files, this means very long scrub/resilver times. With these older ZFS versions, you can tune some ZFS tunables; for example:
