Abstract
A system and method for emulating conventional block appended checksums on storage devices that generally do not support such checksums in a block is provided. A grouping of data sectors with one or more checksum sectors is generated. This grouping is mapped to/from a file system data structure associated with a traditional block appended checksum disk drive.
