I understand and agree with that. I'm fully aware that MD can not (by
design) detect/correct corrupted data. However, I wonder if, and why, a
disk with obvious errors was not kicked out of the array.
maybe because the disk is, well, not in a good shape and don't know that
by itself - i had storage devices which refused to write but said
nothing (flash media), frankly you where able to even format that crap
and overwrite if with zeros and all looked fine - until you pulled the
broken device and inserted it again - same data as yesterday - a sd-card
doestroyed a smartphone phisically by empty the whole battey within 30
minutes while sitting in the cinema
broken hardware don't know that it's broken moste of the time
that#s why you need always backups or can just delete the data at all
because they are not important
thins like above only could be detected by verify every write with an
uncached read/verify which would lead in a uneccaptable performane
penalty (and no filesystems with checksums won't magically recover your
data, they just tell you realier they are gone)
