scrub versus deep-scrub behaviour and scrub settings.

Dear Petasan, We see lots of scrub and deep-scrub activity in /var/log/ceph/ceph.log between 20:00 and 6:00.
We ask ourselfs is it still required to scrub if deep-scrub is also active ?

In the GUI => Ceph Configuration we see several scrub settings but no deep-scrub settings like "osd_deep_scrub_interval".
Is there still a distinction made somewhere between scrub and deep-scrub ?

Regards, MarcelS

You can change the times for scrub to

osd_scrub_begin_hour = 0
osd_scrub_end_hour = 24

to have scrub running all the time. To quickly control scrub speed, we recommend using the presets under the Maintenance tab to quickly change scrub speed. i would not recommend you change osd_deep_scrub_interval but you can change any settings from the Ceph Configuration if you have a need and read the docs at:
