Does smbfs run any kind of error checking/correction on during
transfer of data to SMB shares on Windows machines? I'm backing some
stuff up to a Window machine and wondered if I need to run md5sum on
the files to check for corruption during transfer, or whether SMB/CIFS
deals with that automatically?
Hi, Chris.
Well, TCP/IP does check packet integrity and SMB runs on top of it.
However, why not use rsync with checksums enabled for your xfers?

Tony.
