I'm surprised at the lack of documentation on this. Most bitrot protection schemes seem to be oriented at NAS.



I'm thinking of doing the following:



  • format a raid1 with mdadm

  • install ext4 (64bit?) with checksums enabled

  • profit?

I expect to be able to silently corrupt a drive and have the system fix it occasionally. Yes, I have ECC memory and the drives are the same size.
