Notify scrub proxmox 7

[frankz]

Hello everyone, I realized that after upgrading to version 7 I don't get email scrub notifications. I checked but at the moment I haven't received anything.

Has anything changed?

If I'm not mistaken, you need to edit "/etc/zfs/zed.d/zed.rc" to get email notifications about zfs events.

Mine looks like this:

root@Proxmox:~# cat /etc/zfs/zed.d/zed.rc |grep -v "^#"


ZED_EMAIL_ADDR="root"

ZED_EMAIL_PROG="mail"

ZED_EMAIL_OPTS="-s '@SUBJECT@' @ADDRESS@"


ZED_NOTIFY_INTERVAL_SECS=3600

ZED_NOTIFY_VERBOSE=1






ZED_USE_ENCLOSURE_LEDS=1




ZED_SYSLOG_SUBCLASS_INCLUDE="checksum|scrub_*|vdev.*"
ZED_SYSLOG_SUBCLASS_EXCLUDE="history_event"

Hello and thank you for replying, but I had modified that file, in fact it has always worked. However, I noticed as written before that since I upgraded to version 7, notifications have not arrived. Can I manually throw scrubs? If so, how do I do it? Thank you

Make sure, that you set the email in "/etc/pve/datacenter.cfg".

You should first test, if the host can send any email. Try following:

echo -e "Subject: Test\n\nThis is a test" | /usr/bin/pvemailforward

For your second question, yes you can of course manually scrub your zpools.
See "zpool-scrub(8)" for details.

Basically you can start scrub with "zpool scrub <zpool>", pause it with "-p" or stop it with "-s".

As far as I know PVE won't do scrubs on its own. You need to manually start scrub (zpool scrub YourPool) or create a entry in your /etc/crontab so that root will execute that command for example once per month.

This is wrong. ZFS utils has cron for scrubs and trims.

It veto, I forgot !!! But if I launch it manually will the same email arrive?

Is it done using a systemd scipt? Atleat here with PVE ontop of Debian there is no cron entry for ZFS utils.

Although I didn’t get the first part, but yes, you’ll get a email notifications if your scrub jobs finishes, provided the zed.rc and you emailing is configured correctly.

I have this:

root@Proxmox:~# cat /etc/cron.d/zfsutils-linux
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# TRIM the first Sunday of every month.
24 0 1-7 * * root if [ $(date +\%w) -eq 0 ] && [ -x /usr/lib/zfs-linux/trim ]; then /usr/lib/zfs-linux/trim; fi

# Scrub the second Sunday of every month.
24 0 8-14 * * root if [ $(date +\%w) -eq 0 ] && [ -x /usr/lib/zfs-linux/scrub ]; then /usr/lib/zfs-linux/scrub; fi
root@Proxmox:~#
