Comment (by mmlr):
In such cases it is always interesting to figure out where the corruption
is actually happening as there are numerous layers involved. Here's a
couple of things you could try to narrow things down:
* Open the corrupted file with DiskProbe and look at where the corruption
starts/ends. Does it span the whole file or does it start/stop at a
certain boundary? Does the offset of that start/end align with a power of
2 (i.e. is it a multiple of 2048, 4096 or similar)? -> The offsets might
give a hint at whether it is cache corruption and which cache is possibly
affected.
* Is there a pattern in the corruption or does it look completely random?
Can you see readable text? -> The structure of the corruption might point
to a certain driver/component that may be overwriting memory.
* Does the corruption persist across a reboot? -> This will show whether
or not the data on the file system actually got corrupted or if it was one
of the cache layers getting corrupted transiently.
