Hello All,

Thanks for all your good advices. The issue is probably a bad hardware.

File are stored on a EXT3 partition on a server running Linux Fedora. 
When I compute with Linux (through ssh, then with server resources)
I have a bad result.
When I compute these same files situated on the same server with Windows 
(through Samba, then with desktop resources) I have a good result.

As a conclusion I would say "Never trust one hash only. Forensic good
practice require two equal hash coming from two different ways"
