Subject: Re: PROBLEM: network filesystems corrupts files

I had a similar problem on a new x86 board recently, with 2.6.81
kernels, 2.4.20-31.9 kernels (Red Hat 9), and NFS, and memtest86
showed no erors.

It took a few days to discover that my problem was a hardware IDE
problem, and not a network problem.  Bit errors appeared when I copied
remote files onto the local disk and then ran md5sum on them.  When
the files were large enough, bit errors silently introduced by the IDE
interface resulted in MD5 mismatches.

The answer on this board case was to disable IDE DMA.
