Scrub feature takes too long to use...
Let's talk about the scrub feature. Is anybody actually using it? I know scrubbing is slow. I expect that. I have the scrub schedule set to do it once every three months. The problem is, it is so...
I run scrubs quarterly. the last one took 66 hours on a volume with 4.5 TB of data on my RN202.
This does take a long time, but it verifies that all the files on the NAS are readable, and that there are no latent issues with bad disk sectors.
As far as I can tell, there is no way to speed it up (and frankly I don't want it skip over files).
I think there are other folks who have wanted to schedule tests on weekends. OS 4.2.x let you do that easily, but OS 6 does not. It'd be helpful if you could schedule by day of week, and not date. (2nd Friday, etc).
