This series adds an initial implementation for scrub. It works quite straightforward. The usermode issues an ioctl for each device in the fs. For each device, it enumerates the allocated device chunks. For each chunk, the contained extents are enumerated and the data checksums fetched. The extents are read sequentially and the checksums verified. If an error occurs (checksum or EIO), a good copy

While testing raid-auto-repair patches I''m going to send out later, I just found the very last bug in my current scrub patch series: Changelog v4->v5: - fixed a deadlock when fixup is taking longer while scrub is about to end Original message follows: ------------------------ This patch set introduces two new features for scrub. They share the backref iteration code which is the

The goal is to detect when drives start to get an increased error rate, when drives should be replaced soon. Therefore statistic counters are added that count IO errors (read, write and flush). Additionally, the software detected errors like checksum errors and corrupted blocks are counted. An ioctl interface is added to get the device statistic counters. A second ioctl is added to atomically get
