-#. **Data Scrubbing:** As part of maintaining data consistency and cleanliness,
- Ceph OSD Daemons can scrub objects. That is, Ceph OSD Daemons can compare
- their local objects metadata with its replicas stored on other OSDs. Scrubbing
- happens on a per-Placement Group base. Scrubbing (usually performed daily)
- catches mismatches in size and other metadata. Ceph OSD Daemons also perform deeper
- scrubbing by comparing data in objects bit-for-bit with their checksums.
- Deep scrubbing (usually performed weekly) finds bad sectors on a drive that
- weren't apparent in a light scrub. See `Data Scrubbing`_ for details on
- configuring scrubbing.

#. **Replication:** Like Ceph Clients, Ceph OSD Daemons use the CRUSH
algorithm, but the Ceph OSD Daemon uses it to compute where replicas of
