Sure. Actually I've put aside to interpret the error and the file
involved until I find an actual error (so I hope to never need that
information! :) )

That would be a good compromise. It makes the fulls a bit slower in
servers with poor network and slow disks, but it's more clear what to
do in case of error. Maybe also add a "warning of possible pool
corruption" if the stored checksum and the new checksum differs for
those files?
