I recently experienced a power failure while performing the Initial Block Download onto a Samsung T7 solid state drive, which was partitioned for ext4 and mounted with the default data=ordered journaling option. My node was running with the following parameters: -txindex=1 -blockfilterindex=1 peerblockfilters=1

The node started back up without any issues. However, I am concerned about the possibility of data corruption (blocks, indexes, etc.) due to the power failure. To be on the safe side, I’ve decided to restart the node with -checkblocks=0 -checklevel=3 options to verify the integrity of the stored data.

Is this enough to ensure that no data has been corrupted due to the power failure? Or should I consider taking additional steps to verify the integrity of my node data?

Thank you in advance for your help!
