I had a strange verify error today. I was copying around 200Gb of files
around (tar|tar) and later verified it again (tar|tar d).
All files verified fine except a 600mb mpg file. the bytes between
1a49a001 and 1a49c000 were zero in the copy, but nonzero in the original
(it's entirely possible that 1a49a000 was a zero byte in the original
file).
it might have been some alpha-particle hitting my ram chips in some
pagecache control structure, but since it's zero and (almost) exactly 4k,
I thought I'd better report it. Config:
linux-2.4.8-ac8, source was a two disk raid (ibm, md, striped),
destination was a three-disk-raid (maxtor, md, striped, stripesize 1mb).
both raids had their own promise controller. source and destination was
reiserfs-3.6.
