[Pvfs2-users] unexplainable data corruption

[Troy Benjegerdes]

So a bad network card (or maybe pci-X slot) is causing corruption that 
still has a correct TCP checksum?

Can you run tcpdump on both server and client and save a trace?

You could  also try turning off any TCP or checksum offload in the 
network card.
