I understand there are problems with USB sticks, but what's wrong with that connection for a drive? (assuming cabling won't get kicked out) I've had the problem of file corruption on my mind for some time, and the only solution I've come across is btrfs, and that had some nightmarish issues for me, so I've moved away from it. I'm still wondering if an encryption partition also a mechanism to help mitigate file corruption issues, but I haven't looked into that. zfs needs fuse on Linux, and ext checksumming doesn't exist (though I heard a rumour of encryption support so who knows about the future) Beyond a checksumming filesystem would be backups which keep diffs, but that requires auditing every file with every backup to check for corruption, or keeping many many backups to restore from very early revisions before a corruption. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
