Since I only have one pool, I use the following script.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh -

# If there is a global system configuration file, suck it in.
#
if [ -r /etc/defaults/periodic.conf ]
then
    . /etc/defaults/periodic.conf
    source_periodic_confs
fi

weekly_zfs_enable="YES"

case "$weekly_zfs_enable" in
    [Yy][Ee][Ss])
        echo ""
        echo "Scrubing zpool POOLNAME:"

      zpool scrub POOLNAME

    *)  rc=0;;
esac

exit $rc

Note that you need to change POOLNAME to the name of your pool.

This is placed somewhere useful (/Server/periodic/weekly/100.zfs in my case) and then made to run once a week via launchctl using the following file.
/Library/LaunchDaemons/local.periodic-weekly.plist
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>local.periodic-weekly</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
                <string>/usr/sbin/periodic</string>
                <string>/Server/periodic/weekly</string>
        </array>
        <key>QueueDirectories</key>
        <array/>
        <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
        <dict>
                <key>Hour</key>
                <integer>2</integer>
                <key>Minute</key>
                <integer>15</integer>
                <key>Weekday</key>
                <integer>0</integer>
        </dict>
        <key>WatchPaths</key>
        <array/>
</dict>
</plist>


This is simplistic, but may be useful to you.

I believe ZEVO included some optional plists for this, if someone feels like extracting them from the ZEVO dmg.

No, it would be the schedule. Need the entire plist.

OK here they are:
ZEVO-autopoolscrubs-and-autosnapshots.zip
(3.56 KiB) Downloaded 671 times

So the key is the StartInterval.

The ZEVO custom "automatic" argument might have meant do all pools. Running "zpool scrub automatic" might make it evident whether that's what it meant, assuming multiple pools are imported.

Looks like jollyjinx also did some work in this area: autoscrub.perl

So have we ever gotten anywhere on auto-scrubbing? I've been thinking about setting up a weekly scrub on my volumes...

I'm trying to understand why this seems like something that needs to be done.

@4ever6 to me, it is useful to show a regularly updated status of the integrity of my volumes and data. I would like to see this in an automated fashion so as to not have to realize after some months "Oooops, I forgot to check my drives / data and now I have some risk of losing some data because I have 2 drives going bad" or such. Automated checking and reminders is pretty important in my mind.
