Doesn't that screw up the whole idea of checksumming etc ? |

In my understanding the FS (=btrfs or zfs) should have the direct |
| 15 |
contact to the "metal" (=hdd/sdd) to be fully able to detect bitrot |
| 16 |
and stuff. |

|
| 18 |
btrfs inside a crypted volume will work, yes, but it won't be able to |
| 19 |
see or correct flipping bits on the hardware, because the underlying |
| 20 |
layers of cryptsetup etc might hide them. |

Right? |
