It should be in the later vanilla kernels, it won't
be in the earlier ones, I would do a
find /lib/modules -name "*edac*" -ls

It is a hw issue, either something is running faster that
it should be (pci bus set to fast for the given hardware/config)
or something is broken.
The strange thing is that it always occures on the copied data,.. not
the original (which is on another disk). But wouldn those parity errors
not occur in general?
For example al my sha1sums -c sumfile checks are working corretly on the
original disk :/

Are both disks of the same type and connected to the same
hardware?

Or do they have different physical connections/drivers to the
machine?
