Bcachefs, self healing reads as "poor man's scrub".

[Nihon-Ryori]

The following untested bash script copies all files of a partition to /dev/null. In the event that bcachefs uses e.g. dupe>=2 or a raid with redundancy, the files are compared with their checksums during the read process by bcachefs' own self-healing and files for which the checksum is not correct are replaced by files for which the checksum of the file is correct.
