How does bitrot protection actually work?
I understand the concept, but am curious how it is actually implemented on 6.2.0
StephenB:- I get the impression that you would recommend that 'bitrot protection' be turned ON. (Please say YES or NO)
If it is ON, does this cause extra wear and tear on the disks.
If it is OFF, are the snapshots real copies of the data rather than 'links' as for 'bitrot protection' ON.
I currently have 'bitrot protection' OFF and snapshots of 2GB are almost instantaneous.
I liked your comments, but am still not entirely sure what goes on, and the difference between when the facility is ON and OFF.
Confused!
