One piece of reality-versus-engineering-claims relates to disk scrubbing. We turned
off
disk scrub on the F760's because it really impacted user file access. I
was
told this issue would no longer be a problem. Well, it takes the F840's, each with 12 shelves of 36 gig drives, from 1AM to 2PM (yes, 2 PM) to
scrub
under very light load.
And the impact on performance was?
And your scrub speed was set to?
Another piece of folklore I guess.
What folklore? It's not clear from the text that the engineering claim was wrong.
