Hello all !

Does smb  met the following issue : several hash for an
unique file ? Of course a big one (4 GB). OS is Linux 
Fedora. File system EXT3 mounted on a SATA RAID-5 on Adaptec 
card

Could you enlighten me ?

Most likely, you have marginal hardware, and you only *think* you're
sha1sum'ing the exact same data every time.  With a 4G file, it wouldn't
be at all surprising if a single-bit error was creeping in once in a while.

Have you run memtest86 or similar on the box in question?
