Feature request: Scan all the errors necessary to identify corrupted files on a disk (LUN)

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Issue: mmdeldisk command fails because there are corrupt files on an NSD (LUN).

The feature should run mmrestripefs, mmdeldisk, mmrpldisk to check for any errors. By just scanning for the errors those commands produce, the clients could run it easily to identify the corrupted files on an NSD(LUN). Then they could delete those corrupted files and migrate healthy files to other disks.

Then, the NSD volume can be deleted without any issues. Finally, create a new volume and restore the files that were corrupted from backup.

    It is possible to obtain info on the "bad" files, by using the

    ‐‐inode‐criteria CriteriaFile

    option to commands like mmdeldisk (and others) . Would this work for your use case ?
