Perhaps I meant to say that the box itself [cpu/ram/bus/nic/io, except disk] is assumed to handle data with integrity. So say netcat is used as transport, zfs is using sha256 on disk, but only fletcher4 over the wire with send/recv, and your wire takes some undetected/uncorrected hits, and the hits also happen to make it past fletcher4... it kindof nullifies the SA's choice/thought that sha256 would be used throughout all zfs operations. I din't see notation in the man page that checksums are indeed used in send/recv operations... In any case, at least something is used over the bare wire :) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
