Yes. > If the corruption is local, a normal rsync will fix this. Not necessarily. See bug #145482. Synchronization again and again (on several days) didn't resolve this.

Yes, but obviously, you must not do it every day. @Mick : I suggest that you run a fsck on your filesystem. -- [email protected] mailing list
