51Begins a scrub or resumes a paused scrub.
52The scrub examines all data in the specified pools to verify that it checksums
53correctly.
54For replicated
55.Pq mirror, raidz, or draid
56devices, ZFS automatically repairs any damage discovered during the scrub.
57The
58.Nm zpool Cm status
59command reports the progress of the scrub and summarizes the results of the
60scrub upon completion.
61.Pp
62Scrubbing and resilvering are very similar operations.
63The difference is that resilvering only examines data that ZFS knows to be out
64of date
65.Po
66for example, when attaching a new device to a mirror or replacing an existing
67device
68.Pc ,
69whereas scrubbing examines all data to discover silent errors due to hardware
70faults or disk failure.
71.Pp
72Because scrubbing and resilvering are I/O-intensive operations, ZFS only allows
73one at a time.
74If a scrub is paused, the
75.Nm zpool Cm scrub
76resumes it.
77If a resilver is in progress, ZFS does not allow a scrub to be started until the
78resilver completes.
79.Pp
80Note that, due to changes in pool data on a live system, it is possible for
81scrubs to progress slightly beyond 100% completion. During this period, no
82completion time estimate will be provided.

88.It Fl p
89Pause scrubbing.
90Scrub pause state and progress are periodically synced to disk.
91If the system is restarted or pool is exported during a paused scrub,
92even after import, scrub will remain paused until it is resumed.
93Once resumed the scrub will pick up from the place where it was last
94checkpointed to disk.
95To resume a paused scrub issue
