I've also done my "cp /tmp/a b ; md5sum /tmp/a b" where /tmp/a is a 500Mb file with random data on filesystems on the individual partitions on the four drives. That works fine every time. Doing the same on the raid5 device on the same drives fails every time if the file is large enough (more than say 100 MB). I also don't get any kind of warnings in the syslog when accessing the raid5 device. Just to make sure, I used the same 5GB partitions for both tests, and when a partition is used by itself it works fine. When the same partition is used in a raid5 setup, I get corrupted files. I've tested all four drives. /Basic - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
