See my followup messages, for data at rest you probably don't care about
errors at all, and if you really do then having the report at the whole-file
level is fine. What's the benefit gained from knowing that the 64kB block at
offset xyz is corrupt?
As I mentioned earlier, we really need some data on real-world use cases
rather than hypothesising problematic corner cases that will rarely, if ever,
occur.
