Abstract
One or more background processes that references data storage volumes and cylinders that are to be scrubbed to ensure the integrity of the data stored thereon. A priority scrubbing process is also available to note data storage volumes that have recently had data written thereon by the host processor and which require a more timely review of the data than less frequently used volumes.
