Checksums for metadata on disk
right now we only have checksums for data in the metadata. this is useful for our clients, so they can quickly verify the integrity of the data they have form us, or match their data.
for regular integrity checks for long term preservation (lza/ltp) we would need checksums for metadata and data. so it would be best to have an checksums file in every directory with checksums (md5/sha...) for all files in the dir: data, metadata, etc.
this file could be used for a tool to regularly check data integrity of the repository
