This is in fact good news. Redundantly performing the same performance-intensive tasks on multiple layers makes latency less predictable and just generally wastes resources. | ||||||||||||||

Actually bad news. Most popular filesystems and filesystem configurations have limited and/or weak checksums, certainly much worse than you'd want for a database. 16-bit and 32-bit CRCs are common in filesystems. This is a major reason databases implement their own checksums. Unfortunately, many open source databases have weak or non-existent checksums too. It is sort of an indefensible oversight. | ||||||||||||||
