#. **Data Scrubbing:** As part of maintaining data consistency and cleanliness,
- Ceph OSD Daemons can scrub objects within placement groups. That is, Ceph
- OSD Daemons can compare object metadata in one placement group with its
- replicas in placement groups stored on other OSDs. Scrubbing (usually
- performed daily) catches bugs or filesystem errors. Ceph OSD Daemons also
- perform deeper scrubbing by comparing data in objects bit-for-bit. 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
