Verify jobs - ZFS

[TwiX]

Hi,

Is doing 'Verify Jobs' makes sense on a fully ZFS datastore ?

Thanks in advance !

while the data consistency should be ok if there are done regular zfs scrubs, it would also check chunks that are missing (though that could only happen because of a pbs bug or manual actions from the admin)
so under normal circumstances (and sans any pbs bugs), verifying a datastore on zfs has only very limit benefits...

also, checking whether all chunks referenced by indices are still there also happens for garbage collection (although not with the same level of reporting).

Thanks a lot guys
