from more or less the department of semi-idle thoughts:
lets assume that there is a disk / filesystem where
its important to know that the data coming back from
the disk - via disk, interconnect & pci is the same as
was originaly sent with common errors outruled, and that
the result would not overly suck performance-wise. so
the checksum should be fast tocompute, relatively short
(4-8 bytes per fragment?), and be placed close to data
- probably in the same cylinder group and distributed to
be next to the data it covers.
