Which cannot be said about file systems on Linux which support metadata+data checksum and repair though. As far as I'm aware the only file systems which could realistically be used are btrfs and zfs (bcachefs looks promising but not there yet). Zfs is not even a part of the kernel and you have to compile it yourself and hope it does actually compile against your kernel due to API changes.




True dat.. :-)

Just wanted to point out, that it is "normal" for people to avoid the thing that did not work out for them in the past.
