Doing checksums in the filesystem has some downsides.
Additionally, no filesystem I'm aware of checksums the data in the filesystem
cache. A PG checksum would.
I'll also mention that this debate has been had in the past. The time to object
to the concept of a checksuming feature was a long time ago, before a ton of
development effort went into this... :(
