Thank you for the correction. My next question is, do you happen to know what the overhead difference between fletcher4 and SHA256 is? Is the checksumming multi-threaded in nature? I know my fileserver has a lot of spare cpu cycles, but it would be good to know if I'm going to take a substantial hit in throughput moving from one to the other.

Tim,

That all really depends on your specific system and workload. As with any performance related matter experimentation is vital for making your final
decision.
