Re: Copying from NTFS partition in Nautilus

[Sunjae Park <darehanl gmail com>]

Thanks for your help, but... I think the problem persists.

One thing that is really puzzling me is when the file is freshly
copied, the MD5 sums match occasionally. The files are read-only, since
they were copied from a read-only NTFS partition. 

However, after a while (I might have touched the files somehow, but I
don't remember doing anything to modify them. just mv'ing and unzipping
a few ZIP files, viewing two AVI's) the MD5 sums suddenly change. This
doesn't happen to the files that I cp'ed or otherwise downloaded (all
my ISO's and AVI's that I had downloaded via BitTorrent are okay). 

This is very perplexing. Any pointers on how I can further investigate this will be appreciated.

If you copy the file with something like:
gnomevfs-copy file:///mnt/win/file.avi file:///tmp/file.avi
Does it still get corrupted?
