Hi,

The standard Mageia kernel does not have the XFS kernel options enabled for metadata scrubbing. While online scrubbing is still considered experimental, it cannot damage or do anything to an XFS file system if the -n option is passed to xfs_scrub.

xfsprogs already provides a few xfs_scrub systemd units and a timer that currently cannot be used due to the above if the default Mageia kernel is used.
