When a git-annex repository is on eg, a zfs or btrfs filesystem, the
|
||||
filesystem has built-in checksum verification of file. So a "scrub"
|
||||
operation that just reads all annexed files can detect when a file has
|
||||
gotten corrupt.
|
||||
|
||||
This could be an enhancement to git-annex fsck, or a separate command.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this could detect corruption of files whose key does not
|
||||
contain a checksum.
|
||||
|
||||
Since fsck reads the file content anyway when checksumming,
|
||||
the enhancement could be an option to scrub files that don't use
|
||||
checksums.
|
||||
|
||||
It would make sense to move a file that is detected as corrupt to
|
||||
.git/annex/bad/ the same as fsck does.
|
||||
|
||||
(Idea from Timothy Sanders.)
