Data Scrubbing
Data scrubbing is a data maintenance function that inspects RAID Groups and repairs any detected data
inconsistencies. This function can be used with RAID Groups that implement RAID 5 or RAID 6. We recommend
regularly performing data scrubbing in order to maintain data consistency and avoid losing any critical data in the
event of disk failure.
