Thanks. it checks for corruption and if its a redundant pool, it corrects the data, if theres a known good copy. if its a single device(or all copies known are corrupted) it lets you know that a file is corrupted and you can restore it from a backup. You can always start it manually, but its pretty handy to have one run automatically once the an unclean shutdown appeared, since the parity check on the array also kicks in.
March 7, 20251 yr and what is the advantage compared to the scrub routine already integrated in the system?

March 7, 20251 yr ...so, it is designed for systems without a parity disk? ...since a party check is normally triggered automatically after an unclean shutdown.

No, the parity check is for the array. The scrub is for pools. If you run btrfs disks in the array, this wont do anything for you.
