Claim 0:
1. A method for execution by one or more computing devices of a storage network, the method comprises:
error encoding a data segment of data in accordance with error encoding parameters to produce a set of encoded data slices;
storing the set of encoded data slices in a set of storage units of the storage network;
obtaining provenance information associated with the set of encoded data slices, wherein the provenance information is generated as one or more tasks for the error encoding the data segment and the storing the set of encoded data slices are being executed;
determining probable error locations associated within the set of storage units based on the provenance information; and
scanning the probable error locations to determine whether an error is associated with an encoded data slice of the set of encoded data slices.
