The part after the "and" is unclear. A filesystem without regular

Hmm, right when writing that I did pause for a bit thinking whether it
was clear or not, but I guess my bias tricked me. :) Let me retry:

Sorry for the phone answer, but as I had to read that three times, I
figured I'd note that. I think I got it now: There is a conflict between
having a digest and being an irregular file.
First I wondered: Huh is this checking digests of such files, this makes no sense? I was like, should this be an or?
Second I forgot.
Turn the "and" into a "but" and I think it gets OK. Currently the
contradiction is not easy to deduct.
Or write explicitly that having a digest conflicts with actually not being
s regular file.
