+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I ran `git annex fsck` on some files, and the fsck reported that hashes were incorrect and the files were moved.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+I don't know.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

+
+The problem was on several disks, different manufacturer, different disk size, etc. The fsck always transformed hashA -> hashB, so the hashes were equal before and after the fsck run on all disks, though the link to the "old" file was not fixed to point to the "new" file.
+
+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+
+I use annex for years now, never had a problem with it. It is one of the most awesome pieces of software I've seen in the last 10 years, though I only use a really small part of it. Sometimes it bugs me a little that it consumes quite a lot of memory on large repositories, though most of the time this is not an issue for me.
