</lurk> There's a really interesting Linux filesystem in development at the moment called btrfs by Chris Mason at Oracle. It includes checksums of data on disk and currently benchmarks really well [1] against non-checksumming filesystems. It's still very early days for it (the on-disk format isn't nailed down yet for instance, so don't put anything on it that you'd want to keep) but it's getting interesting, for instance the unstable branch recently gained some multi-device capabilities.
