pool...- Begins a scrub or resumes a paused scrub. The scrub examines all data in
the specified pools to verify that it checksums correctly. For replicated
(mirror, raidz, or draid) devices, ZFS automatically repairs any damage
discovered during the scrub. The
zpool
status command reports the progress of
the scrub and summarizes the results of the scrub upon completion.
Scrubbing and resilvering are very similar operations. The difference is
that resilvering only examines data that ZFS knows to be out of date (for
example, when attaching a new device to a mirror or replacing an existing
device), whereas scrubbing examines all data to discover silent errors due
to hardware faults or disk failure.
Because scrubbing and resilvering are I/O-intensive operations, ZFS only
allows one at a time. If a scrub is paused, the
zpool
scrub resumes it. If a resilver is in
progress, ZFS does not allow a scrub to be started until the resilver
completes.
Note that, due to changes in pool data on a live system, it is possible for
scrubs to progress slightly beyond 100% completion. During this period, no
completion time estimate will be provided.
-s- Stop scrubbing.
-p- Pause scrubbing. Scrub pause state and progress are periodically
synced to disk. If the system is restarted or pool is exported during
a paused scrub, even after import, scrub will remain paused until it
is resumed. Once resumed the scrub will pick up from the place where
it was last checkpointed to disk. To resume a paused scrub issue
zpool
scrub again.
-w- Wait until scrub has completed before returning.
