Running the latest RC I was quite astonished to encounter currupt gzipped tarballs: the file lengths matched but the md5 checksums didn't. rsync -av would not detect a difference, but rsync -avcS ("checksum, handle sparse files efficiently") would detect a difference and rsync correctly. Anybody else observe this behavior? FWIW, This happened for various binary files on a vinum raid5 partition with softupdates enabled.
