Should I worry about "bit rot" with no visable drive errors?
Running my monthly scrub 25% of the way through I've seen 4 reports of bitrot from files I confirmed viable before transfering to my NAS over ethernet. There are literally 0 disk errors or warnings ...
I'd do a binary compare of your backup files and the ones on the NAS, and see if they are actually different. Please post back either way.
Found one more bit rot file from the same time period.
Removed all 5 files total and after a disk scan I'll be copying them back from my archives after a disk scan and updating with any additional problems that surface if any.
