Filesystem level? Not on OpenBSD. ZFS or Hammer2 have checksums, so they can detect silent corruption. ZFS can self-heal as well. They are not supported on OpenBSD. With FFS you need to roll your own protection layer: bitrot, checksums, reed-solomon (par2), corruption-resistant archive formats (restic) and backups, hardware RAID. TBF, if you need a reliable storage system, OpenBSD is not the best choice. Best regards, Chris Narkiewicz
