I like your feedback! By mistake I found it here. Sorry to reply to it:
for information, DAR does the test of a *whole* archive. After the "long enough time you've spent", I don't know where you have seen that it can make the testing of a single slice (this is a non sense as a given file inside the archive could be split between two or more slices, and CRC is computed file by file). As usual, dar starts by the first slice, then it needs the last.
OK, I Promise, if I find again (by mistake of course) one of your feedback, I will not reply to it :-)
