+======================
+Ceph File System Scrub
+======================
+
+CephFS provides the cluster admin (operator) to check consistency of a file system
+via a set of scrub commands. Scrub can be classified into two parts:
+
+#. Forward Scrub: In which the scrub operation starts at the root of the file system
+   (or a sub directory) and looks at everything that can be touched in the hierarchy
+   to ensure consistency.
+
+#. Backward Scrub: In which the scrub operation looks at every RADOS object in the
+   file system pools and maps it back to the file system hierarchy.
+
+This document details commands to initiate and control forward scrub (referred as
+scrub thereafter).
+
+.. warning::
+
+   CephFS forward scrubs are started and manipulated on rank 0. All scrub
+   commands must be directed at rank 0.
+
+Initiate File System Scrub
+==========================
+
+To start a scrub operation for a directory tree use the following command::
+
+   ceph tell mds.<fsname>:0 scrub start <path> [scrubopts] [tag]
+
+where ``scrubopts`` is a comma delimited list of ``recursive``, ``force``, or
+``repair`` and ``tag`` is an optional custom string tag (the default is a generated
+UUID). An example command is::
+
+   ceph tell mds.cephfs:0 scrub start / recursive
+   {
+       "return_code": 0,
+       "scrub_tag": "6f0d204c-6cfd-4300-9e02-73f382fd23c1",
+       "mode": "asynchronous"
+   }
+
+Recursive scrub is asynchronous (as hinted by `mode` in the output above).
+Asynchronous scrubs must be polled using ``scrub status`` to determine the
+status.
+
+The scrub tag is used to differentiate scrubs and also to mark each inode's
+first data object in the default data pool (where the backtrace information is
+stored) with a ``scrub_tag`` extended attribute with the value of the tag. You
+can verify an inode was scrubbed by looking at the extended attribute using the
+RADOS utilities.
+
+Scrubs work for multiple active MDS (multiple ranks). The scrub is managed by
+rank 0 and distributed across MDS as appropriate.
+
+
+Monitor (ongoing) File System Scrubs
+====================================
+
+Status of ongoing scrubs can be monitored and polled using in `scrub status`
+command. This commands lists out ongoing scrubs (identified by the tag) along
+with the path and options used to initiate the scrub::
+
+   ceph tell mds.cephfs:0 scrub status
+   {
+       "status": "scrub active (85 inodes in the stack)",
+       "scrubs": {
+           "6f0d204c-6cfd-4300-9e02-73f382fd23c1": {
+               "path": "/",
+               "options": "recursive"
+           }
+       }
+   }
+
+`status` shows the number of inodes that are scheduled to be scrubbed at any point in time,
+hence, can change on subsequent `scrub status` invocations. Also, a high level summary of
+scrub operation (which includes the operation state and paths on which scrub is triggered)
+gets displayed in `ceph status`::
+
+   ceph status
+   [...]
+
+   task status:
+     scrub status:
+         mds.0: active [paths:/]
+
+   [...]
+
+A scrub is complete when it no longer shows up in this list (although that may
+change in future releases). Any damage will be reported via cluster health warnings.
+
+Control (ongoing) File System Scrubs
+====================================
+
+- Pause: Pausing ongoing scrub operations results in no new or pending inodes being
+  scrubbed after in-flight RADOS ops (for the inodes that are currently being scrubbed)
+  finish::
+
+   ceph tell mds.cephfs:0 scrub pause
+   {
+       "return_code": 0
+   }
+
+  The ``scrub status`` after pausing reflects the paused state. At this point,
+  initiating new scrub operations (via ``scrub start``) would just queue the
+  inode for scrub::
+
+   ceph tell mds.cephfs:0 scrub status
+   {
+       "status": "PAUSED (66 inodes in the stack)",
+       "scrubs": {
+           "6f0d204c-6cfd-4300-9e02-73f382fd23c1": {
+               "path": "/",
+               "options": "recursive"
+           }
+       }
+   }
+
+- Resume: Resuming kick starts a paused scrub operation::
+
+   ceph tell mds.cephfs:0 scrub resume
+   {
+       "return_code": 0
+   }
+
+- Abort: Aborting ongoing scrub operations removes pending inodes from the scrub
+  queue (thereby aborting the scrub) after in-flight RADOS ops (for the inodes that
+  are currently being scrubbed) finish::
+
+   ceph tell mds.cephfs:0 scrub abort
+   {
+       "return_code": 0
+   }
