Abstract
In general, the invention relates to a method for managing data. The method includes identifying a first chunk to be health-checked in a fault domain using storage metadata stored in the fault domain, obtaining the chunk from the fault domain, generating, after obtaining the chunk, a first chunk identifier using the first chunk, making a determination that the first chunk identifier does not match a second chunk identifier stored in the storage metadata, and in response to the determination: obtaining a plurality of chunks associated with the first chunk from a plurality of fault domains, wherein the fault domain is not part of the plurality of fault domains, regenerating the first chunk using the plurality of chunks to generate a new first chunk, and storing the new first chunk in the fault domain.
