larson Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I am moving some files off some old disks, and is using a Ubuntu boot to access them. I would like to somehow checksum everything after the move to see it's fine. Had I used windows I would have looked at teracopy, but now I cannot use that. Can I use md5sum to make checksums for the files and then check it after move? How do I make it dig down in the dirs and save an outputfile that I can use to check all files on my unraid server? Or is there a better, easier way? /Lars Olof Link to comment
Spectrum Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Check out the md5deep package in unmenu. It does exactly what you are asking for. Link to comment
larson Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 It looks fine, and I already installed and ran it on my ubuntu pc. Too bad I have some severe problems running and installing stuff with unMENU... Thanks! /Lars Olof Link to comment
Spectrum Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Troubleshooting unMenu would be a whole other topic and I'll leave that up to Joe L. You could always mount the shares on the Ubuntu box and run the md5 compare across the network. Not ideal, but not a horrible solution either and if this is just a one time thing it would get the job done. Link to comment
larson Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ok, so I got it working in the end. Now I have md5deep on both source and target. On source I ran md5deep -r -e -l >md5sum.txt and got myself a nice file with lots of sums in. But I can't quite get the hold of how I can run a check on the files on the target. I am looking at md5deep -x md5sum.txt but don't feel it's doing right. The info I find on the web is not very helpful, so if someone here could help me out a bit I'd appreciate it. /Lars Olof Link to comment
