You need to give more detail. You installed an i386 obsd machine, and did what? Took an ext3fs disk out of a Debian sparc64 machine, put it in the new obsd machine? How did you mount it? How exactly are you "migrating" it? > When copying I found out that some files weren't copied correctly and > returned the error: "read error: Invalid argument". *Some* files. Other files copied correctly? Can you tell a pattern of which was which? > The files are usable when mounting the disk under i386 Debian, so it's > not an cpu-architectural problem. So, you put the same sparc64 disk into an i386 Debian machine, and did what exactly? Copied the whole thing over, with cp, without a read error? > Other programs trying to operate on these files via ext2fs also fail > with the same notion, (e.g. md5).

That (or scp) is how I always copied files from one FS/OS/arch to a completely different FS/OS/arch.
