If anyone needs me, I'll be in the Angry Dome

I know for a fact I read about something like that once it might have been on the Slim Devices "Audiophiles" forum. The dude was all "why are the file sizes 6 bytes different if they're EXACTLY the same, huh smart guys?" and someone finally noticed the 6 more letters in one of the file names.

That's not how md5 hashes work. The file name does not affect the computation of the hash

edit:

code:
mythtv@theking:~$ echo "this is data" > a.txt
mythtv@theking:~$ cp a.txt asdf.txt
mythtv@theking:~$ md5sum a.txt
e2fd7861105ee473a045343e6e921faa  a.txt
mythtv@theking:~$ md5sum asdf.txt 
e2fd7861105ee473a045343e6e921faa  asdf.txt
