After much angst, I realized that READ STRIPING can affect the calculated checksum hash value of a file. Turning off read striping enables consistent hash checksum values.
IS THERE ANY WAY TO DISABLE AND ENABLE READ STRIPING FROM COMMAND LINE?
I run a batch script for my backups every evening and recently added a hash check. It looks like I need to disable read striping otherwise hash checksum values are affected.
If the read striping could be toggled from a command line, it could be turned off before backup and back on after backup. Otherwise I have to leave read-striping disabled if I want to use any kind of integrity check.
