The joy of 'zpool scrub'
Some days, when it's cold and you're not feeling very motivated (like me, today), it's nice to do a zpool scrub on the machines you manage, and then once it's done:
$ zpool status
pool: aux
state: ONLINE
scrub: scrub completed with 0 errors on Tue Jan 29 15:52:38 2008
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
aux ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
c1t0d0s7 ONLINE 0 0 0
c1t1d0s7 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
And then relax, knowing that your data is safe. (2008-01-29 17:23:44.0) Permalink Comments [2]

Why don't you make your scrub a weekly cron job?

This way you would have time for a coffee on those dull days... ;-)
