Synology data scrubbing - Bladefin - 2025-06-30
I'm using a Synology Nas to keep my films on but will have Jellyfin installed in windows, I'm wondering if I should have data scrubbing enabled on the shared folder or will Jellyfin not run properly when it's doing the scrubbing.
Thanks

Since you don't have Jellyfin running directly on the NAS, you shouldn't notice much of a difference when scrubbing the data on the NAS.
At worst, the videos will take a bit slower to load.

Excellent as I wasn't sure if I should of had it enabled.
Edit: Do you recommend having it on for the film folder?
Thanks

Scrubbing is a feature of the BTRFS filesystem. It will attempt to read the checksum of stored data and correct any detected data corruption.
It's a good idea to have it enabled for all data on the NAS. You can set it to run at whatever time interval is more convenient for you.

And now I have found out that you need at least three drives to perform the process of data scrubbing.
Still I will have it enabled in the folders thanks.
