I thought about that, but I doubt it's going to go through all the
inodes and clear the NODATASUM bit from the inode flags where it's been
set by something such as the conversion using -d or setting the
NODATACOW flag (e.g. the +C attribute).
So while that will, hopefully, recalculate the checksums on the regular
files I don't think it would have fixed his problem since those files
weren't "regular" at that point.
