A slight nit.  

Using cat(1) to read the file to /dev/null will not actually cause the data to 
be read thanks to the magic that is mmap().  If you use dd(1) to read the file 
then yes you will either get the data and thus know it's blocks match  their 
checksums or dd will give you an error if you have no redundancy.
