Abstract
A method for execution by one or more processing modules of a storage network (SN) begins with the one or more processing modules scanning a storage node of the SN at a predetermined interval to determine whether an erasure encoded data slice (EEDS) of a set of erasure encoded data slices (EEDSs) is corrupt, where the set of erasure encoded data slices (EEDSs) is generated from object data using an erasure error encoding dispersal function. The method continues with the one or more processing modules determining that an EEDS is corrupt and in response, rebuilding the EEDS in place in the storage node.
