Can I disable Etag?

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

the MD5 hash is calculated by rclone, and stored as metadata
with multi-part uploads, not usable to verify file transfers.

whereas, with Etag is calculate by both rclone and the S3 provider.
imho, that is a real check

for a deeper look, check my posts at

In some cases, rclone does not use ETag to verify files

great. if provider returns ETag: then rclone should use it, with respect to --s3-use-multipart-etag as i understand it, for multipart, x-amz-meta-md5chksum cannot be used. so this log entry cannot be relied upon. DEBUG : file.ext: md5 = 7246aff55b4ba5cdd90912d8819d5a0f OK in addition, i trying to create WORZ - Write Once, Read Zed. once a file is uploaded, no way to download , no way to overwrite, no way to delete.

and
with a multipart, server-side copy, it is no clear what rclone is doing when printing md5 = e9a99fd39b444139598f997510c24076 OK seems that rclone is simply comparing the header X-Amz-Meta-Md5chksum between source and dest. That is correct.
