Yes, but when scrub encounters uncorrectable errors, it doesn't attempt to correct them. Fsck will do things like recover lost files into the lost+found directory, and stuff like that... So, scrub does more of one thing, and fsck does more of a different thing... Which one you call "more" is a matter of perspective. I would just call them different, and each one "better" in its own way, depending on your needs. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
