[Evms-devel] Data corruption

[Georges A.K. <geo...@gm...>]

Hi,
I recently used EVMS to build my raid5 array. I started with 2 drives
(250GB) and built a degraded array. Then added a spare. They expanded
it with one more drive. That gave me a 4 drive raid5 array for 750GB
storage. I put ext3 as the FS on it. Now, I'm having a weird problem.
I have a few files that, when copied on the array, are altered. I ran
a compare on the files with the originals and found that it's only a
couple of bytes that are altered. What's even more weird is that all
the bytes had an original value of FF and were changed to FB. I only
have this problem with a few files (they're usually big files, but not
all big files are corrupted).
Does anyone have an idea of what's going on here ?

Thank you,
Georges.
