"fsprobe" is not a standard Unix command.

It's a tool developped by Peter Kelemen from CERN to routinely check
for silent data corruption on disks.

It's very simple and basically just writes data to disk then reads the
data back and compares what was written and read (expecting things to
be identical).

You can find more details there:
