Add note on handling of data corruption #1167

Closed danielmewes closed 8 years ago

Came up in https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/6034

RethinkDB does not currently add its own checksums for detecting data corruption on disk. Instead it relies on the underlying storage system (hard drives + file system) to ensure the consistency of data blocks.

We should add this to https://www.rethinkdb.com/docs/architecture/#data-storage I think.
