Summary:An apparatus comprises at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory that is configured to initiate a read data request utilizing a logical address of a content addressable storage system that maps to a physical address comprising an offset on a storage device that internally maps the offset to a first sector. The processing device is also configured to determine a health of the first sector responsive to the read data request failing, to recover data stored in the first sector responsive to the first sector being a bad sector, and to overwrite the recovered data to the logical address while maintaining the mapping to the physical address by directing a write of the recovered data to the offset to update the internal mapping of the offset in the storage device to a new physical location corresponding to a second sector different than the first sector.
