Data integrity rn104
I am using a rn104 for my main media server and run backups from the rn104 to external drives MY drives in the nas are WD REDS in JBOD mode What I was wondering is there any data integrity check...
Thanks for that I understand most of it
You said Scrub will verify the btrfs checksums.
That is not files like movies photos music etc but the btrfs file system itself (why does that need checking for integrity)
You also said there is no point in enabling ethernet teaming I wasent after a faster connection it was more for fail over or for a separate vlan so this would still be ok and if so what teaming would you use

The checksums do check the file integrity. If bitrot protection is turned on and you have a redundant RAID, then the checksums are part of Netgear's bit-rot protection.

Personally I never saw much point to NIC fail over on my network - I haven't ever seen a case where the second ethernet connection would still work when the first failed. ALB likely would work, not sure about round-robin. Probably you'd need to test it by unplugging the first NIC and seeing if you can reach the NAS from a PC after you do that. Then replace the ethernet cable, and unplug the second one (repeating that test).
If you want to connect the second NIC to a different network, then you wouldn't want teaming at all. You'd set the switch to have the second NIC on the VLAN you want,and make the connection untagged.
If you meant a VPN (instead of a VLAN), then we'd need more information on exactly how the VPN was being set up. I use OpenVPN on my router, and that doesn't need anything special configured on the ReadyNAS.
