Yes. There have been studies of this and the results depend on the technical (probabilities) and the comfort level (feeling lucky?). The technical results will also depend on the quality and nature of the algorithms involved along with the quality of the hardware. I think it is safe to say that a scrub once per year is too infrequent and a weekly scrub is too frequent for most folks. -- richard ZFS storage and performance consulting at http://www.RichardElling.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
