Mario,

Thanks for that clarification; since not all distros necessarily have it
based on recency, etc., I didn’t want to assume metadata_csum was enabled,
but that’s a positive start. Not as thorough as full data checksumming, but
you’re probably right that it’s at least a good baseline to make reasonable
judgments about with regard to heavy ext4 use on the same drive.


Thanks,
