When I first tried them, they didn't do anything immediately, so I thought they weren't the answer. After your mention, I tried them again, and after a while the deep-scrubbing stopped. So I'm guessing they stop scrubbing on the next PG boundary. I see from this thread and others before, that some people think it is a spindle issue. I'm not sure that it is just that. Replicating it to an idle cluster that can do more than 250MiB/seconds and pausing for 4-5 seconds on a single request, sounds like an issue by itself. Maybe there is too much locking or not enough priority to the actual I/O ? Plus, that idea of throttling deep scrubbing based on the iops sounds appealing.
