I usually use 'rsync -av' to tranfer files (RSYNC_RSH=ssh). 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.
