That is _wrong_ (to a certain extent). You _want to run_ diagnostic tools to
make sure that there is no problem. And you don't want some software (not even
HAL) to repair errors without prior admin knowledge/permission

I think there's a place for a scrubber to continuously verify filesystem data and metadata, at low io priority, and correct any correctable errors. The admin can read the error correction report at their leisure, and then take any action that's outside the filesystem's capabilities (like ordering and installing new disks).
