NAME
btrfs-scrub - scrub btrfs filesystem, verify block checksums
SYNOPSIS
btrfs scrub <subcommand> <args>
DESCRIPTION
btrfs scrub is used to scrub a btrfs filesystem, which will read all
data and metadata blocks from all devices and verify checksums.
Automatically repair corrupted blocks if there's a correct copy
available.
Note
Scrub is not a filesystem checker (fsck) and does not verify nor
repair structural damage in the filesystem.
The user is supposed to run it manually or via a periodic system
service. The recommended period is a month but could be less. The
estimated device bandwidth utilization is about 80% on an idle
filesytem. The IO priority class is by default idle so background scrub
should not interfere with normal filesystem operation significantly.
The scrubbing status is recorded in /var/lib/btrfs/ in textual files
named scrub.status.UUID for a filesystem identified by the given UUID.
(An itermediate progress is communicated through a named pipe in file
scrub.progress.UUID in the same directory.) The status file is updated
periodically every 5 seconds. An resumed scrub will continue from the
last saved position.
SUBCOMMAND
cancel <path>|<device>
If a scrub is running on the filesystem identified by path> cancel
it.
If a device is specified, the corresponding filesystem is found and
btrfs scrub cancel behaves as if it was called on that filesystem.
resume [-BdqrR] [-c <ioprio_class> -n <ioprio_classdata>]
<path>|<device>
Resume a cancelled or interrupted scrub on the filesystem
identified by path or on a given device.
Does not start a new scrub if the last scrub finished successfully.
Options
see scrub start.
start [-BdqrRf] [-c <ioprio_class> -n <ioprio_classdata>]
<path>|<device>
Start a scrub on all devices of the filesystem identified by path
or on a single device. If a scrub is already running, the new one
fails.
Without options, scrub is started as a background process.
The default IO priority of scrub is the idle class. The priority
can be configured similar to the ionice(1) syntax using -c and -n
options.
Options
-B
do not background and print scrub statistics when finished
-d
print separate statistics for each device of the filesystem (-B
only) at the end
-q
be quiet, omit error messages and statistics
-r
run in read-only mode, do not attempt to correct anything, can
be run on a read-only filesystem
-R
print raw statistics per-device instead of a summary
-c <ioprio_class>
set IO priority class (see ionice(1) manpage)
-n <ioprio_classdata>
set IO priority classdata (see ionice(1) manpage)
-f
force starting new scrub even if a scrub is already running,
this can useful when scrub status file is damaged and reports a
running scrub although it is not, but should not normally be
necessary
status [-d] <path>|<device>
Show status of a running scrub for the filesystem identified by
path or for the specified device.
If no scrub is running, show statistics of the last finished or
cancelled scrub for that filesystem or device.
Options
-d
print separate statistics for each device of the filesystem
EXIT STATUS
btrfs scrub returns a zero exit status if it succeeds. Non zero is returned in case of failure.
