BTW - no errors were found by wackz, in spite of the 212 parity errors corrected a week earlier.
This means that your "superblocks" escaped corruption. There could still be corrupted data in the filer.
I always wondered how NA determines that the data is good and the parity is wrong. Obviously if you don't know where the corruption occured you can't correct it, but the odds of parity being wrong are much smaller than that of the data. How does NA "correct" parity errors?
