If you think about it, validating checksums requires reading the
data.
So you simply need to read the data.
This should work but it does not verify the redundant metadata. For
example, the duplicate metadata copy might be corrupt but the problem
is not detected since it did not happen to be used.
Too bad we cannot scrub a dataset/object.
Can you provide a use case? I don't see why scrub couldn't start and
stop at specific txgs for instance. That won't necessarily get you to a
specific file, though.
