Those URLs are identical. (OMG ! Is it contageous ?) Number 2 would match my suspicion that some layer in the disk driving gets confused and mixes up the serial numbers. > But you said *similar*. By "colliding serial numbers" i mean indeed "identical serial numbers". How cheap the disks may ever be, that would be no excuse for not making them individually distinguishable. > As Gene's threads have too many movable parts > for me to follow, on that point I couldn't say. This one begins to gain presence in the web. So one can use search engines and AI to untangle its sub-threads. I meanwhile participate in two of them: serial number collision, rsync caused OOM killer (solved now, but how ?). Have a nice day :) Thomas
