There's no general authoritative checksumming yet. EC pools get
checksums, and replicated pools checksum the objects as part of deep
scrub. But maintaining a checksum when you do a partial overwrite
requires reading the whole object and updating the checksum, so we
don't do that.
NewStore is doing some stuff like this (but I'm not sure how much you
can count on) and there is "opportunistic checksumming" in the code
base, but that's really just a developer feature rather than something
users should be running.

So that means there's no automated way to guarantee the right copy of
an object when scrubbing. If you have 3+ copies I'd recommend checking
each of them and picking the one that's duplicated...
