I got some replies, but the problem remains unsolved.=20
The server is one out of 7 "identical" servers in a cluster, and only
this machine has errors (we think.). The build is the same on all the =
hosts
in the cluster. The nfs mounts are tcp, so it's not corrupted udp
packets. I did a od on one of the files that has been corrupted twice,
and in one instance only 1 bit was different. In the other two bits
diffrered.
The errors are rare.
