Hello,

 

Can you please add to the pool scrub the "custom" option like on parity check because those of us with big pools would prefer to have the options to custom schedule the scrub.

Thank you.

That already exists. what exactly are you looking for? I.e what exact setting are you trying to set for your usecase.

Hello, Thank you for your reply. I need this option available in pool scrub that already exists in parity check

Just to make sure, you absolutely want to run a complete scrub every single day? Thats 😲 a tat excessive.

I thought, since you specifically mentioned that you have a big pool, that you need scrubbing in increments, ie. run nightly for X hours.

I want to schedule it every 2-3 months. In the current config I can only select monthly but in the parity check I can choose individual months of the year which you can find. on the 4th row.

That does sound good. 

In the meantime, you could manually set it like this:

Enable the scrub schedule for that pool in the gui for *anything*. it will create a scrub_POOLNAME.cron file on the usb at "/boot/config/plugins/dynamix"

You can edit the crontime as you wish

for individual months at the first day at 1 am

0 1 1 2,4,6,8,10,12 *

or just flat every second month at the first day at 1 am

0 1 1 */2 *

or every third month at the first day at 1 am

0 1 1 */3 *

 

When you are done editing that .cron file to your liking, you can head over to "Settings/Scheduler" and do a dummy change on the ssd trim for example, just to enable the save option. Upon pressing save, the custom cron time will then be persistently applied to /etc/cron.d/root
