RAID1 file corruption(?)

[Steve <steves@braingia.org>]

Hello,

I've configured a software raid 1 on two sata drives, using a single 
partition on each drive to create the array.  When transferring large 
files (100 to 1500mb) to the mount point using scp the transfer almost 
always results in a corrupt file, by which I mean that the md5sum of the 
file doesn't match the source.

I'm able to rm the file and transfer it again and it then seems to work 
fine.

I've run fsck.ext3 on the md device and the raid itself shows clean.

This machine is just being built and tested so I can delete files, kill 
the raid, etc as needed to troubleshoot the problem.

Any ideas?
