I accept that and appreciate why the world has moved to ZFS.
Yes, files can be silently corrupted but, as in the other thread that I referenced, the OP had a system that hung during boot and knew the disk was iffy. I hoped that a 'fsck -o full' would tell him which files had bad spots so he knew which files to rewrite. Hence my discussion about whether there are any other tools to read all used disk space.
Anyway, as always with you j-l, thank you for the comprehensive answer.
