SubjectRe: NFS corruption (duplicated data)
Date
Ya it's probably the same problem.

To really understand what is going on in terms of corruption
pattern up the disk with a known pattern and re-run the test.

If the corrupted areas show up as the known pattern you are dealing
with stale disk data and not data from the wrong file/process.

And at that point I would definitely say it's bug:
