Disk Scrub – Why and When?
Jan 11, 2016 · A ZFSSA with 192 4TB drives, configured as a single RAIDz1 pool, with only 1TB of data currently in it, finished a disk scrub in less than 90 seconds.
Jun 03, 2006 · With ZFS, data are always consistent on disk. For you worriers, there is a command you can use to make sure everything is okay with your filesystems. Unlike of the fsck command which had to be run on an unmounted filesystem (read: downtime), the zpool command has a scrub option which works on a mounted, living filesystem.
Controlling ZFS Data Scrubbing
ZFS Data Scrubbing and Resilvering When a device is replaced, a resilvering operation is initiated to move data from the good copies to the new device. This action is a form of disk scrubbing. Therefore, only one such action can occur at a given time in the pool.
May 12, 2019 · Scrub / resilver work through the pool in transaction ID order (from oldest transaction to the newest), and not in the order of the bytes on disk. So, if there’s lots of fragmentation, lots of old snapshots, lots of differences between the snapshots, the scrub/resilver will be slow. Or if …
Checking ZFS File System Integrity
to perform the necessary checking, ZFS provides a mechanism to perform routine checking of all inconsistencies. This feature, known as scrubbing, is commonly used in memory and other systems as a method of detecting and preventing errors before they result in a hardware or software failure.
ZFS always stores checksums separately from the data they verify, improving reliability and the ability of scrub to repair the volume. ZFS also stores multiple copies of data—metadata, in particular, may have upwards of 4 or 6 copies (multiple copies per disk and multiple disk mirrors per volume), greatly improving the ability of scrub to detect and repair extensive damage to the volume, compared to fsck.
Scheduling automated ZFS scrubs. and emailing yourself the
Oct 23, 2016 · Scheduling automated ZFS scrubs and emailing yourself the results. One of the big benefits to using ZFS is its ability to repair silent data corruption. Step 1: configure your email preferences. I think the easiest way to configure email is to set your server up to use Step 2: schedule the ZFS
Oct 09, 2013 · Any application with a random block-based write access scheme will massively fragment a ZFS filesystem, leading to very slow scrub speeds (and sequential read speeds for those files in general). This is even amplified by frequent snapshotting, as the fs cannot free the old blocks.
Using the ZFS scrub feature to verify the integrity of
Oct 15, 2011 · ZFS provides a scrub option to read back all of the data in the file system and validate that the data still matches the computed checksum. This feature can be access by running the zpool utility with the “scrub” option and the name of the pool to scrub: $ zpool scrub rpool.

ZFS: Stopping a scrub
Sep 30, 2012 · If you accidentally started a scrub on a pool or need to stop one for any reason it’s fortunately quite straightforward: # zpool scrub -s [poolname] e.g. zpool scrub -s kepler You can check on whether that was successful with zpool status – it will give an output above the pool … Continue reading „ZFS: Stopping a scrub“
From ZFS’s perspective, such errors appear as drive errors and are treated as such. But if they are transient, the two-scrub process should clear them out of the error log. If they are permanent (also common on USB disks :- () then the details can be displayed by zpool events [-v] behlendorf removed this from TODO in Documentation on May 25, 2019
FreeNAS Essentials: How to set up SMART Tests and Scrubs
Mar 16, 2018 · Scrubs on a ZFS Volume helps you to identify data integrity problems, detects silent data corruptions and provides you with early alerts to disk failures. It also cleans up your disks. Scrubs only checks used disk space, that’s why we also use SMART tests, to check the whole disk health. It’s the regular maintenance for ZFS Volumes / Pools.
ZFS uses as default store for ACL hidden files on filesystem. This reduces performance enormously and with several thousand files a system can feel unresponsive. Storing the xattr in the inode will revoke this performance issue.
ZFS checksum error (on scrub) – how do I see affected
Jul 31, 2019 · The most dangerous things I think would be if a transaction is written with erroneus pointers to where earlier transactions are, this would force you to import the poolstate at a previous transaction number – and that can get messy, or if the free space maps is read erroneously and ZFS thinks space holding actual data is free and overwrites it.

ZFS – Centrally manage all disks from the storage pool. – Freely allocate disk resources (capacity) to each virtual environment. ZFS also has the aspect of a „storage virtualization function“ for easily managing and allocating many large-capacity disk resources. By combining ZFS and the server virtualization function called Solaris zones, you

Jun 18, 2012 · SCRUB = Clean volume EXPORT = Unmount volume, with option of formatting/erasing The only problem I found was that re-importing the ZFS volume after export was not possible, as ZFS was not an option in FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-p2-x86 (11367).

ZFS scrub operations operate on some fairly brain-dead principles. Most notably, it only spends time scrubbing when there’s nothing else going on. If you poke a pool with just a bit of data access on a fairly constant basis, scrub will effectively starve itself and do nearly nothing.

ZFS allows you to integrate many disks into a “zpool” for storage. There are many different configurations one could setup, but I’ll just focus on a simple ZFS mirror, where I have two disks, each of which will contain the same data, hence the name ‘mirror’.

ZFS scrubbing
Nov 21, 2012 · Scrub is not automatic. You can start a scrub, and then check progress with the commands below. If a scrub is in progress the status command will tell you and give the progress, speed and estimated time to completion. I believe there are also periodic scripts that can be enabled to do this automatically at a set interval.
zfs list says I have used 29.4T and I have 19.9T available spread over 5 datasets. After I finished copying my data, I decided to run a scrub to see how long it would take. I’ve ran it twice and both times it has said something like „scrub repaired 0B in 0 days 17:45:16“

ZFS dedupe will discard any data block that is identical to an already written block, while keeping a reference so that it can always reproduce the same block when read. You can read more about ZFS deduplication and how it works here. Before you decide to use deduplication, it’s good to know what value you’ll get out of it.
