Hey Magnus,
Hmmm, okay -- that's unfortunate. :)
I apparently wrote a script in 2017 to find duplicates from this issue
on the other table and fix them up. Maybe a similar locale thing
happened back then?
Anyway, for what it's worth:
Checksum scan completed
Data checksum version: 1
Files scanned: 7068
Blocks scanned: 524565247
Bad checksums: 0
Regards,
Omar
