# xfs\_scrub\_all(8)

scrub all mounted XFS filesystems

## NAME

xfs\_scrub\_all - scrub all mounted XFS filesystems

## SYNOPSIS

**xfs\_scrub\_all** \[ **-hxV** \]

## DESCRIPTION

**xfs\_scrub\_all** attempts to read and check all the metadata on all mounted XFS filesystems. The online scrub is performed via the **xfs\_scrub** tool, either by running it directly or by using systemd to start it in a restricted fashion. Mounted filesystems are mapped to physical storage devices so that scrub operations can be run in parallel so long as no two scrubbers access the same device simultaneously.

## OPTIONS

- **--auto-media-scan-interval**

  Automatically enable the file data scan (i.e. the **-x** flag) if it has not been run in the specified interval. The interval must be a floating point number with an optional unit suffix. Supported unit suffixes are *y*, *q*, *mo*, *w*, *d*, *h*, *m*, and *s* for years, 90-day quarters, 30-day months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, respectively. If no units are specified, the default is seconds.

- **--auto-media-scan-stamp**

  Path to a file that will record the last time the media scan was run. Defaults to /var/lib/xfsprogs/xfs\_scrub\_all\_media.stamp.

- **-h**

  Display help.

- **-x**

  Read all file data extents to look for disk errors.

- **-V**

  Prints the version number and exits.

## EXIT CODE

The exit code returned by **xfs\_scrub\_all** is the sum of the following conditions:\
 	0	- No errors\
 	4	- File system errors left uncorrected\
 	8	- Operational error\
 	16	- Usage or syntax error

- These are the same error codes returned by xfs\_scrub.
