It doesn't need to. Crontab entry: /root/bin/scruball.sh /root/bin/scruball.sh: #!/usr/bin/bash for filesystem in filesystem1 filesystem2 filesystem3 ; do zfs scrub $filesystem done If you were talking about something else, for example, multiple machines all scrubbing a SAN at the same time, then ZFS can't solve that any better than cron, because it would require inter-machine communication to coordinate. I contend a shell script could actually handle that better than a built-in zfs property anyway. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
