Host machine: EM64T cpu, RHEL4 u1/2/3 x86 32-bit version

Create/mount ext2 or ext3 file system on srp devices using 
1K block size (ie. mkfs -t ext2 -b 1024). Copy file, umount, 
remount and compare to the original file - looping the 
procedure above and eventually you will get data mismatch.

I tested with Engenio target and have not seen this problem. 
  Please run your file system data corruption test with 1K 
block size on ext2/ext3 fs
