btrfs-scrub(8)
==============
SYNOPSIS
--------
**btrfs scrub** <subcommand> <args>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
.. include:: ch-scrub-intro.rst
SUBCOMMAND
----------
cancel <path>|<device>
If a scrub is running on the filesystem identified by *path* or
*device*, 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.
The progress is saved in the status file so **btrfs scrub resume** can
continue from the last position.
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*. The starting point is read from the
status file if it exists.
This 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 mounted filesystem identified by
*path* or on a single *device*. If a scrub is already running, the new
one will not start. A device of an unmounted filesystem cannot be
scrubbed this way.
Without options, scrub is started as a background process. The
automatic repairs of damaged copies is performed by default for block
group profiles with redundancy.
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. Note that not all IO schedulers honor the ionice settings.
``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
-r
run in read-only mode, do not attempt to correct anything, can
be run on a read-only filesystem
-R
raw print mode, print full data instead of 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
-q
(deprecated) alias for global *-q* option
status [options] <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
-R
print all raw statistics without postprocessing as returned by
the status ioctl
--raw
print all numbers raw values in bytes without the *B* suffix
--human-readable
print human friendly numbers, base 1024, this is the default
--iec
select the 1024 base for the following options, according to
the IEC standard
--si
select the 1000 base for the following options, according to the SI standard
--kbytes
show sizes in KiB, or kB with --si
--mbytes
show sizes in MiB, or MB with --si
--gbytes
show sizes in GiB, or GB with --si
--tbytes
show sizes in TiB, or TB with --si
EXIT STATUS
-----------
**btrfs scrub** returns a zero exit status if it succeeds. Non zero is
returned in case of failure:
1
scrub couldn't be performed
2
there is nothing to resume
3
scrub found uncorrectable errors
