Another mystery. I copied the file to USB 1TB sandisk. md5sum check OK same as my computer md5sum /run/media/joseph/SSD-1TB/business/backup/VDI/windows-7_pro_May-23-21.ova 6f3348f1fb915af9c45806d947558a37 /run/media/joseph/SSD-1TB/business/backup/VDI/windows-7_pro_May-23-21.ova I mount the same USB 1TB sandisk on another computer and running md5sum on same file gives me different number, why??? md5sum /run/media/fd/SSD-1TB/business/backup/VDI/windows-7_pro_May-23-21.ova c478cb48e2f7961cb0e3eb452df6e642 /run/media/fd/SSD-1TB/business/backup/VDI/windows-7_pro_May-23-21.ova
