Evening all,
I read Cyberjocks guide to Freenas and had a question regarding ZFS Scrubs, I have all of my Hard drives in single Storage arrays - Basically just hard drives, I do not need redundancy due to complete replication on a second system (also single drives) each drive is matched on both system and contain specific data one for each volume.
I have some questions regarding the ZFS storage.
Firstly with only 1 Drive "pools" do you get the benefits of ZFS data checking or does that require two or more drives.
Secondly is there any point in Scrubbing the drives, In the guide it mentions that you can scrub should you have the replication capacity for it, does this mean with single drives that it is not possible to scrub? Would there be an advantage to Scrubbing single drive "pools"?
If I haven't made myself clear I apologise and please feel free to ask any questions that would help.
