[OpenAFS-devel] Anybody got any tips as to why this is occuring?

[Deon George]

I'm seeing strange problems with my AFS setup - files are failing the
MD5check.

My setup has two fileservers "penguin" and "pabx". iso files that are
stored on volumes on penguin pass their md5sum checks.

Files on pabx DONT pass their md5sum check.

I've run the md5checks on the servers themselves and on afs clients, and
in each case the files that are stored on pabx fail - with different
md5sum results each time.

For info:
penguin = RHEL4.2
pabx = RHEL5 beta2

AFS is 1.4.4 with binaries from openafs.org (except the RHEL5 kernel
binaries, which I compiled myself using the src.rpm on openafs.org

I can confirm that the files DO NOT change between tests.

Everytime I run md5sum or sha1sum, the result is different.

Anybody got any tips/ideas?
