Description Attila Jecs 2007-07-15 03:33:47 UTC 
There is a new patch available for evms-2.5.5:
http://evms.sourceforge.net/patches/2.5.5/engine/disk_cache.patch

The local disk cache uses the address of an object as the identification for a
cached entry. However, the addresses are not unique (in some cases). In our
tests, the cache returned wrong data and caused serious problems

Reproducible: Didn't try
