Both ZFS and modern btrfs support a large set of checksums. Both implement sha256, which does impose a heavy speed penalty. ZFS allows you to adjust the checksum on the fly, using something faster (Fletcher) if desired. In btrfs, a global checksum is set at filesystem creation; xxhash is the best modern option. There is a website: https://xxhash.com Deduplication adds concerns for a strong hash free of collisions. | ||

Fletcher has been the default for quite some time. | ||
