USB3stick might do compression and deduplication internally. Older Sandforce controllers in SSD (sandisk) did that for example. I would compare files with off-device copies. Maybe you also did that. Then still Pi5 USB3 port is not the same as a port on a PC. Both have a firmware/BIOS and a Linux driver, so 4 objects that could differ.i confirmed that the vmlinuz and initrd files in /boot (ext4) matched the ones in /boot/firmware (fat32)
its highly unlikely that any corruption would hit both copies of the file in the same way
