surely you mean that the FS should calculate the hash on file creation/update, not take some random value from the user. but I agree that a FS that maintains file-content hash should allow clients to query it.

No, the FS should verify the hash on creation/update. Otherwise corruption during creation/update would just cause the hash to match the corrupted data.
