I've been shuffling some data around in preperation for archiving it. Being a bit paranoid, I tend to md5 sum the stuff at both ends, and then verify the checksums. I'm getting random differences. I.e. - the diff of the md5 sums will turn up a file or two that are different. Running diff or cmp on them by hand - and they're the same. Likewise, running md5 on them by hand turns up correct sums. This worries me. I'm running an older version of 3.2-stable on a SuperMicro motherboard with 256Meg of ram and a Seagate ST39173W SCSI drive. Is this something that udpating the OS might fix, or am I seeing evidence of hardware problems (but I'm not seeing anything in syslog!), or possibly bugs in both diff and md5? Help appreciated - and wanted, <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
