How does bitrot protection actually work?
I understand the concept, but am curious how it is actually implemented on 6.2.0
I'm still a bit puzzled about the basics of CoW. I understand it has the potential to be A Good Thing®, but I'm not sure what the optimal operating conditions would be.
For example, is CoW good — or even necessary — for media shares with lots of large (ca. 2GB) video files that don't get modified very often? Is it for documents? How about an iTunes share that contains a little bit of everything and is accessed and updated (with apps, podcasts) daily? How much of a performance hit will it bring to a 314?
I disabled bit-rot protection across the board long ago when I was trying to eke some decent performance out of the 314, but I'd also like to ensure data integrity if the feature set allows it.
