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.
After replacing the damaged files I have scanned the disks twice, balanced, and done another scrub for good measure. So far so good. Looks like it was simply a few bad transfers that never got noticed.
