Hi all. I'm setting up a git repository to help with backing up an archive. The archive is about 160GB of mostly binary files. I know this isn't the best use for git, but I'd like to try and get it to work. The problem I'm getting is that every time I add the files initially, or then push or clone the directory, I get objects corrupting at random. I thought it may have been the drives, but testing this on 2 different drives and 3 different partitions yielded the same results. I also ran a memtest which didn't pick up any bad RAM. So what's happened so far: first init/add/commit, then:
F:\archived_jobs>git fsck error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect data check) error: sha1 mismatch 11e4214c0bb2a86605347692bccdebb3be2c4ab6 error: 11e4214c0bb2a86605347692bccdebb3be2c4ab6: object corrupt or missing error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect data check) error: sha1 mismatch ab0314a93ed387193d584f5a49f8cd98d00a75e7 error: ab0314a93ed387193d584f5a49f8cd98d00a75e7: object corrupt or missing Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.

I replace the corrupted objects with ones from the previous .git directory and git fsck checks out fine. I then commit and clone the repo into a bare repo on a different drive, and run git fsck: D:\data\repos\archived_jobs>git fsck error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect data check) error: sha1 mismatch 2da539bdd1e883fe07d0cc7bcab6b2edbaecc9cd error: 2da539bdd1e883fe07d0cc7bcab6b2edbaecc9cd: object corrupt or missing error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect data check) error: sha1 mismatch 3dcfdaad5309c2cc22d1c36cb807219802e3cc0e error: 3dcfdaad5309c2cc22d1c36cb807219802e3cc0e: object corrupt or missing error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect data check) error: sha1 mismatch 64671dbf5754312bad99ce73a797aa27243fd734 error: 64671dbf5754312bad99ce73a797aa27243fd734: object corrupt or missing Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.

I then try clone this (using tortoise) to another partition on the same drive and get: git.exe clone --progress -v "D:\data\repos\archived_jobs" "G:\temp\archived_jobs" Cloning into 'G:\temp\archived_jobs'... done. error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect data check) error: corrupt loose object 'da8f44c76bb6d08e7a9fd53eb4a594e245e2db8e' fatal: loose object da8f44c76bb6d08e7a9fd53eb4a594e245e2db8e (stored in .git/objects/da/8f44c76bb6d08e7a9fd53eb4a594e245e2db8e) is corrupt warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed. You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status' and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD' git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128) (4229296 ms @ 9/03/2016 17:26:19) so yeah, 4 separate operations, 9 different corrupted objects. Any ideas what's happening here and how i can fix it? I'm running Win7 Ultimate SP1. Drive F: is a 1TB windows software RAID 1. Drives D: and G: are 1TB partitions on the same 2TB single HDD. Using TortoiseGit 1.8.11 and git 1.9.4.msysgit.1 and the corruption happens regardless of whether i'm using the tortoisegit gui, or the command line for git Cheers.
