Hi everyone,

I'm using PBS on a ZFS datastore and I think the verification job is quote overkill (re-verify hashes of every chunk is not required, zfs will do the job) but I would like to execute the verification of the metadata.

This to be secure that every chunk referenced exists.

Maybe some kind of configurabile cache for chunk hash calculation would solve my use case, something like the "Re-Verify After" but for chunks, not only for the backup instance.

The verify job now takes a ton of time and I think is wasted: I know that all chunks are right, zfs is taking care of that.

Someone else has the same kind of setup? How can I workaround this issue?
