+===== Errors found during a scrub =====
+If during the scrub process, silent or input/output errors are found, the corresponding blocks are marked as bad in the "content" file, and listed in the "status" command.
+<code bash>
+snapraid status
+</code>
+To fix them, you can use the **"fix"** command filtering for bad blocks with the **-e**, **--filter-error** options:
+<code bash>
+snapraid -e fix
+</code>
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**  At the next "scrub" the errors will disappear from the "status" report if really fixed.
+  * To make it fast, you can use **-p bad** to scrub only blocks marked as bad: <code bash>
+snapraid -p bad scrub</code>
+</WRAP>
+<WRAP warning>
+**WARNING:**  Take care that running "scrub" on a not synced array may result in errors caused by removed or modified files.
+  * These errors are reported in the "scrub" result, but related blocks are not marked as bad.
