Given btrfs is linux specific, how about a systemd unit & timer unit to do the scrub? disabled by default, but then one would be able to run scrub out of the box with e.g.: $ systemct start btrfs-scrub.service or regularly with $ systemctl enable --now btrfs-scrub.timer Would that be good enough? -- Regards, Dimitri.
