Need to worry about 1 + 2 cksum errors?

A couple of the disks in master raidz pool that took 11 hours of "drain fixing" last weekend are now showing 2 cksum errors on one disk and 1 cksum error on another. Is this anything to worry about? Is running a manual scrub worthwhile doing—there are no read or write errors?

occasional checksum errors are "ok". I usually find them nice to have as it supports my decision to use zfs.

Just do
Code: Select all
zpool clear master


If it starts to happen often, you should consider replacing that disk.

Scrubbing should be done 1-2 times a month. Recommendations vary. Myself I scrub every Saturday night. If you get that "funny feeling" do a scrub. The wear and tear on the discs are minuscule compared to the wear and tear on your mind worrying over your data.
