I have been experimenting with both BTRFS and EXT4 on hacked up,
external RAID5 array made of USB disks. Yes, I know, crazy -- but
they're laying around, so I figured why not use them for long-term storage?
Anyway, in my latest transfer of multiple terabytes of data, to an EXT4
filesystem (it was BTRFS before), I used the open-source tool "rclone"
which was pretty fast. I ended up with (for example) images files that
are now of file type "data" and others that appear to not be what
they're supposed to be. There are checksumming operations that go on,
I repeated the process a couple of times to ensure all data were copied.
My question here is if I convert this to BTRFS might that correct some
of these issues or did I run into another issue?
