Data Scrubbing
Data Integrity is a high priority in computer data writing, reading, storage, transmission, or processing, computer operating systems and computer storage and transmission systems. However, it is known that Hardware RAID has some issues with data integrity and that none of the currently widespread file systems provide sufficient protection against Data corruption. To adress this, Data scrubbing is a method in information technology for routine checks of all inconsistencies in data and, in general, a prevention of hardware or software failure. This 'scrubbing' feature is commonly used in memory, disk arrays, FPGAs or file systems as a mechanism of data error detection and correction.
