Thanks again for the added info; very helpful.

I want to keep playing around with BTRFSS RAID 5 and testing with it... assuming I have a drive with bad blocks, or let's say some inconsistent parity am I right in assuming that a) a btrfs scrub operation will not fix the stripes with bad parity and b) a balance operation will not be successful? Or would a balance operation work to re-write parity?
