Re: How to solve data fixity

MPU etags are an MD5-of-MD5s, FWIW. If the users knows how the parts are
uploaded then it can be used to verify contents, both just after upload and
then at download time (both need to be validated if you want end-to-end
validation - but then you're trusting the system to not change the etag
underneath you).
