restic 0.16.4 compiled with go1.22.5 on linux/amd64
I am getting random ciphertext verification failed errors during restore.

My situation, my last backup was about 4 days ago. I regularly backup to two restic repos, one on-site and one off-site.
I have been distro hopping Linux trying to find a good option as things are kind of in flux right now. So I haven’t been updating my backup, but I have restored from it multiple times in part and in full over the last 4-5 days.
Randomly, I will get ciphertext verification failed for some files. Thinking there might be something wrong with my repo (despite restoring from it multiple times) I ran a full check --read-data which completed flawlessly.

One of the above files that failed, reattempted and it worked fine.

Usually with hundreds of thousands of files, it is only a handful that get this message.
This repo is my local repo on a TrueNAS SMB share mounted via fstab.
These random errors are making me very uncomfortable depending on restic for my backups.
