I'm running TrueNAS-12.0-U8.1 as a backup-server using rsync to run daily backups from many different, primarily linux-systems.
It has a large pool for this data, about 70 TB.
The system has only run for a few months and works absolutely great.
My question is simple:
Until now I've only done some S.M.A.R.T tests now and then on the 8 disks, that hold the backup-data. They are Western Digital Red Pro, WDC WD141KFGX-68FH9N0 disks using CMR technology, not SMR. They pass long S.M.A.R.T tests just fine until now.
I'm reluctant to do a scrub on the data-pool, although I know I should.
But won't it take forever to finish?
From what I can read in this forum this will take many days, and then I will have to reschedule my backup-scripts and all sorts of things, won't I?
What is your advice on this?
