A new kernel was installed and every package on the system was recompiled…
So, here is another attempt. All the files are scp’ed to the second computer onto the RAID-6. And again, there is inconsistency. Tho hashes were calculated OK, all the other FAILED.
$ for i in md5sum sha1sum sha256sum; do $i -c $i.sum ; done
Partition_1.dd: FAILED
Partition_2.dd: FAILED
Partition_3.dd: FAILED
Partition_4.dd: FAILED
Partition_5.dd: FAILED
disk_image.dd: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 6 of 6 computed checksums did NOT match
Partition_1.dd: FAILED

Now, the same files are copied back to the first computer to another directory. Three of the six files are OK, i.e all the hashes are OK for these three files. The other tree files are FAILED in every hash calculation.

I have a feeling there will be part three…
