Does anyone know of a util that fixes Check Sum Errors ??
I'm using FFS, I haven't seen a reason to switch to SFS
if I'm still going to get the errors.
My way of fixing them now is reformat the disk (a pain).
Any suggestions??

Try DiskSalv it's on Aminet.

In maybe eight years of using SFS, I've had exactly zero checksum errors.
Usually they're caused on FFS by a disk write being interrupted by a crash or reboot. SFS doesn't really have this problem.
Get Disksalv running, it'll fix the checksum errors. Some files might still be damaged though.

I have Disksalv but I never really used it.
It seem to me that after fixing the error you are
still asked to copy files over to another disk and
reformat.
I keep a mirror backup on another drive but its still
reformating and copying the files back again.
I know the errors usually happen during write to the
drive, but you know SH*T happens.
I don't know how SFS would avoid this problem.
Usually when this happens its a unimportant EMail
or something along this order.
The errors seem to come in bunches, then I won't have
any for awhile. My drive are OK, they arn't the falt,
its me.
(I keep Win 98 prety well trashed on my PC also ;-)

Sometimes I used Disksalv, but copy from backup is many times faster.

I'd go for QuarterBack Tools 6 (http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/docs/rview/Quarterback6.0.txt)... The choice is yours.
