Shouldn't SCSI/ATA block sparing handle this? Reconstruction should be purely a matter of writing, so "bit rot" shouldn't be an issue; or are there cases I'm not thinking of? (Yes, I know there are a limited number of spare blocks, but I wouldn't expect a spare which is turned off to develop severe media problems...am I wrong?)
