Arthur,The current Dumps infrastructure is in maintenance mode. But I'd be definitely nice to consider SHA-256 for Dumps 2.0.What Federico mentions seems like the best choice if you need this now. Dumps 2.0 will take a long while, but do feel free to open the task at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ and tag it with "Dumps 2.0". Kindly please describe your use case over there as well.Thanks,-xabrielOn Mon, Apr 22, 2024 at 10:34 PM Arthur D. Edelstein <arthuredelstein@gmail.com> wrote:Many thanks, Federico!

If the snapshot
hosts have enough memory to keep the files in cache a bit longer, so
they don't need to be read back from disk, running new checksums may be
very fast.

I understand it's suboptimal, but if you're in a rush you can also use
Toolforge and create a tool, a bit like
https://dump-torrents.toolforge.org/ , to run sha256sum on the
appropriate files (which are mounted even on the bastion host). I/O
tends to be rather slow but may still be faster than your networking.
Best,
Federico
