Hi All, I am having trouble figuring out a problem and I was hoping another view point on it might help: 1) I make a mysql dump every night on one of our database servers. It ends up getting tarred and gzipped 2) In the morning I unzip the sql file and run a sum on it, example: #sum nightly.sql 47339 3641964 3) I ftp the sql file over to another machine I have tried this in both ascii and binary mode. 4) I sum the file on the second machine: forumsdb:~# sum nightly.sql 00520 3641964 as you can see the sums are different. I am at a loss as to why. Anyplace I should look? BTW Box 1 is a debian Sarge box running 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp kernel and Box 2 is Fedora Core 5 box running 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 kernel Thanks, Sean --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
