[SOLVED] ZFS scrub_start event for rpool?

[r4dh4l]

Hi,

I've configured mail notifications via ZFS Event Daemon / ZED and mail notifications for "ZFS scrub_finish event for rpool ..." work just fine.

I would like to receive mails when ZFS starts scrubbing as well. How can I set this?

Thank you for Proxmox!

Hi!

You could base this off from the default shipped "scrub_finish".

So short primer for ZEDLETs (comes from scriplets often used in other projects). The default shipped reside in "/usr/lib/zfs-linux/zed.d/", if they should be enabled they need to be in "/etc/zfs/zed.d/", so by default a symlink is placed there pointing to the default shipped one, see

ls -l /etc/zfs/zed.d/

So for making the start notification "zedlet" do

cp /usr/lib/zfs-linux/zed.d/scrub_finish-notify.sh /etc/zfs/zed.d/scrub_start-notify.sh

Now we need to adapt it, we could open it in the editor and figure the changes out, but as this seems like it'd be made for chaging it from "finish" to start events very easily, we can even do this by a simple search-and-replace command, for example with good ol' sed:

sed -i 's/finish/start/g' /etc/zfs/zed.d/scrub_start-notify.sh

and finally restart the ZFS ZED service to ensure it loads this new zedlet:

systemctl restart zfs-zed.service

Then it should be working, it does here, at least

Sorry for never reporting back (didn't find the time to try your suggestion). But thank you very much for your detailed explanation. Will report back asap.

Didn't know why I've waited so long.

systemctl restart zfs-zed.service

I had to adjust the paths a little bit:

ls -la /etc/zfs/zed.d/

cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/zfs/zed.d/scrub_finish-notify.sh /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/zfs/zed.d/scrub_start-notify.sh

ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/zfs/zed.d/scrub_start-notify.sh /etc/zfs/zed.d/scrub_start-notify.sh && ls -la /etc/zfs/zed.d/

sed -i 's/finish/start/g' /etc/zfs/zed.d/scrub_start-notify.sh && cat /etc/zfs/zed.d/scrub_start-notify.sh

systemctl restart zfs-zed.service && systemctl status zfs-zed.service

Is it okay to symlink

scrub_start-notify.sh

like the other scripts?

Confirming that this works. Just got my first "ZFS scrub_start event for rpool on <hostname>" mail.

Yes, that's just fine.

Great that you made it work for you.
