File system hash values

[alanwo]

It is known that we can calculate hash values e.g. crc, md5 and sha1
from functions provided by the .net framework. However, I just wonder
if these values (esp. crc) are stored in file system so that we can
just retrieve it and don't have to calcuate it for every file. is it a
dream?

No they are not.
