Hi,

This might be a repeat question and perhaps even intuitively understood by 
everyone else, but I figured I would ask for clarity rather than remain in the 
dark.

If we have a set of files that for whatever reason became corrupted on disk 
(bit rot for instance), this would be recorded as a CRC change on a HAMMER file 
system via HAMMER history. Thus, history being intact, it would be possible to 
revert back to uncorrupted versions of those files via HAMMER undo - entire 
directories for instance.

What is often mentioned in texts about HAMMER undo however, seems to revolve 
around user error and file loss, such as accidental deletions or a broken 
config file. But if the above example is also a scenario, can it be also said 
that HAMMER has "data-healing" capabilities similar to ZFS's "self-healing"?
