How does bitrot protection actually work?
I understand the concept, but am curious how it is actually implemented on 6.2.0

I believe checksums are enabled/disabled at the volume level only (at least I am not seeing any subvolume controls). If so, then btrfs should alert you to checksum failures.
I run jbod also, but have bitrot protection and snapshots enabled on shares. (if you want CoW on all the time, then you do need bitrot protection enabled, since the features are coupled).
