I don't have hard and fast numbers but with ~120TB of media I can tell you I'm pretty sure I've had it happen or I've suffered from raid issues, I have no way to tell which. I've seen multiple instances when media that I know played flawlessly suddenly has stopped working. Most this occurred when I was using UnRaid (I still am for a few things) and could have been 100% my fault (most likely reason). I now just use a Synology and it has a data integrity feature that I have enabled. Time will tell if I suffer from "bitrot" again.
Either way, bitrot or raid issues, a tool like this is interesting to me. I'd love something that watched my collection, stored the hashes, and altered me when they had changed (I know that's not what this tool does). I'm not sure I'd be willing to give up the space for something like par2 files but even a heads up other than "Oh, this isn't playing" would be nice.
- mmastrac 5y agoI tried to make the tool easily pluggable so I wager someone could add hash support pretty easily. I might take a shot at it if I find some time as others seem to be interested in monitoring (but not paying the storage penalty) for bitrot.
