Re: Spontaneous development of supremely large files on different ext3 filesystems

That is because e2fsck doesn't know the correct size, so just uses
the end of the last valid block (it isn't possible to have a "hole"
at the end of the file).

It looks like more than 1 bit was different and if I understand this correctly, those other bit changes are the result of this after fact padding by e2fsck.


The filesize is basically the same, except for the addition of a stray
bit, way off in left field.   (( Note that  both of the 'old' file

Yes, it looks like single-bit corruption of some kind.

So does this imply a spontaneous bit flip on a platter? Shouldn't that have been picked by the RAID and twice because there is dual parity (RAID 6)?
