not again - raid corrupts data

Hi, I've been here some time ago with this strange problem: intel dual pentium server running redhat 7.1, 2 scsi disks mirrored as software raid. when copying large files from one partition to another, the file gets corrupted: [vor@server tmp]$ cp /opt/java/jdk-1.3.1_02.i386.rpm . [vor@server tmp]$ diff /opt/java/jdk-1.3.1_02.i386.rpm jdk-1.3.1_02.i386.rpm Binary files /opt/java/jdk-1.3.1_02.i386.rpm and jdk-1.3.1_02.i386.rpm differ solution then was to upgrade the firmware of the two IBM scsi disks. but, what a nightmare, after a (forced) reboot the whole problem is here again. and, worst of all, the reboot caused a resync of the raid and a file system check which obviously corrupted some other larger files. I'm at the end of my sanity - any ideas, hints ? tnx in advance.
