September 3, 2025Sep 3 I am not sure if this has come up before, but I could not find anything on it.BackgroundWhen ZFS or BTRFS is used in the array, the filesystem can detect invalid data blocks.ProblemIn cases where a block is identified as invalid, writing corrections to parity does not provide a benefit. At the same time, wiping and rebuilding an entire drive is often impractical and time-consuming.Proposed SolutionIntroduce an option to select a specific drive and run a parity check that corrects that drive, similar to the existing “write corrections to parity” functionality.EnhancementTo make the process more effective, the system could:Run a scrub when errors are detected.Based on the scrub results, automatically recommend whether corrections should be written to data or to parity.
