[Pytables-users] checksum always verified?

[Frédéric B. <no...@no...>]

Hi,

we just got some problem with our file server and this bring me
question on how to detect corrupted files.

There is a way to specify a filter when creating a table that add a checksum[1].

My questions is, when a file is created with checksum, are they always
verified when the chunks are uncompressed? Can we specify when we open
the file if we want to check it or not? The examples I found only talk
about it when we create the file.

thanks
