...eliminate the problem. However, increasing the checksum length regardless of file size burns bandwidth so per-file checksum sizes were wanted. Unfortunately that required a protocol bump which was undesirable at the time. The two attached patches implement per-file dynamic checksum lengths. The dynsumlen patch lays the groundwork. It makes the checksum length a per-file attribute alongside the block size. This required a protocol bump and reaching into almost every routine that touches block checksums. I found that there was a great deal of code duplication involved with reading and writing the...
