Re: [opensuse] systems see same file differently

I have a 1GB tar.gz file sitting on a windows share and have 3 systems
connected via samba to that share.

System A & B see the file just fine, and both report the same md5sum
info. System C sees the file as corrupt and with a different md5sum.

My problem, I need the file on system C and am puzzled about why it sees
this file differently than the other two. All systems are running SuSE
9.3 32-bit, however, system C is an intel core 2 duo 64-bit processor.
System A & B are older P3 systems.

Has anyone every had anything like this and can offer suggestions as to
why this might be happening.

Thank you for your time

Maybe sneaker mail is your answer--copy the file to a disk and sneaker
it over to the recalcitrant machine. I know this is crude, but it just
might work.

Thanks for the reply, but the problem is not getting the file to system
C, but rather it always sees the file as corrupt. In further testing it
may be a hardware issue.

The first time I ran md5sum on the file (on the share) was:
a72c2c415a81cd7722319004987679f1 backup_ams_1.tar.gz

I rebooted the system, and this time it was:
2a93d60a45712595b6edbbfad5075de3 backup_ams_1.tar.gz

Testing the file with gzip gives this:

gzip -t -v backup_ams_1.tar.gz
backup_ams_1.tar.gz:
gzip: backup_ams_1.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: backup_ams_1.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--length error

The other two systems show the file is ok (file still on share)

gzip -t -v backup_ams_1.tar.gz
backup_ams_1.tar.gz: OK
