Hello, recently installed Truenas Scale and I have noticed something strange.
Main Filesystem called Serverpool
I go into Edit Options, click advanced options, scroll down and select Checksum ON (which I assume this is for ZFS)
Then I create my dataset ie Programs
And I click edit options and advanced options and most of the time it says under checksum inherit (off)
I manually select ON, and save.
Then I'll come back later and it will either say ON still, or if I hover the mouse around there some times it changes to Inherit (off) in front of my eyes.
Can some one tell me what checksum means or does in the menu here, is it important.
Looking up checksum in google always just brings up many issues with people having checksum errors.
I also run snapshots and backup to a remote computer and also I backup to another set of drives on my main server.
And it almost always turns off checksum.
Any help or explaining if this is something I should be worrying about would be nice.
