Revisiting this thread about robut file systems and what to use these days on disk storage: <https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2017-12/msg00433.html> btrfs had checksums for data from the day one. I have no idea what you mean.
My understanding was that they first only had metadata checksums and only crc32 or something they wrote about, and in these days they go for better checksum algo and for data itself. Mybad? So can I happily go for btrfs and restore my data even if my single physical disk has somewhat of an outage, defective blocks? Or what is exactly covered and handled by this checksums for data bytes itself? Thanks for explanation and thread.
