You may add something like this to /etc/periodic.conf:

daily_status_zfs_enable="YES" daily_scrub_zfs_enable="YES" daily_scrub_zfs_default_threshold="6" # in days

and it will scrub the pools every 6 days (and send you a report in the daily run output).

Very nice, thank you, I will try that. I am rather dismayed, however, by learning in this thread that my disks have 4K sector sizes and ZFS autodetected 512 bytes, which means I'll have to destroy the pool and recreate it...

It happens all the time...

If you run "camcontrol identify ada0" (or whatever your device is) you can find out before it is too late:

sector size logical 512, physical 512, offset 0

This is from a lucky drive of course :)

Hmm, there's no such command in Ubuntu, maybe it's from BSD?
