In one set of embodiments, a storage system can execute a repair process for a first component of a file or object stored on the storage system, where the repair process is initiated in response to the first component becoming inaccessible by the storage system, and where the file or object is split across a plurality of components including the first component. The executing can include, for each chunk in an address space of the first component starting from an initial chunk pointed to by a cursor: (1) determining whether the chunk is mapped to the first component, (2) if the chunk is mapped to the first component, copying data for the chunk from a mirror copy of the first component to a second component in the plurality of components, and (3) updating the cursor to point to a next chunk in the address space.
