I think that if you found out which blocks were different and mapped
that back through the filesystem, you would find that those blocks are
not a part of any file, or possibly are part of a file that is
currently being written.
Well, I have a bunch on my /boot partition, so here's my test plan.
Please comment on the safety of this plan as you see it.
- remount the raid-1 array read-only. It shouldn't be changing!
- mount 1st component r/o and do md5sum on every file[1]
- for each other component, mount r/o and check every file
Investigate any mismatches found in real data.
The alternative involves taking the system down and doing this from a
Live-CD. Since most of my servers and desktops (including this one) run
in VMs on the server in question, this is safer but not likely to happen
soon.
