Sounds like stuff in the kernel log?

How was the data copied? dd of the underlying device or copied at the
file level...
The errors in the kernel log sound like file-system level
inconsistencies. Copying the data by using "dd" of the underlying
device would also preserve the filesystem level inconsistencies...

Possibly. If so, I'd expect other clues in the kernel log complaining
about hardware issues....
It could even be a power issue - lack of sufficient voltage can have
all sorts of weird and counter-intuitive results. And inconsistently
so.
Hope this helps
