October 3, 200619 yr I have been looking for a command line file checker for the Unraid 3.0 distro for a while and cannot find one. CFV would prob do the trick but I can't find a package for it. Anyone got any ideas short of building a slackware box to compile on? I thought about building a VMware image and even tried to find one to download. I know md5sum is installed. I need something that will process lists of files like http://www.dakotacom.net/~donut/programs/cfv.html will. Thanks.
October 3, 200619 yr Author Yes. After I copy files I then run a checker over the network. I would like to run it on unraid as it would be much faster and put the CPU to actual work. I know about the lack of swap space issue. Anything else you can see that would cause problems? Thanks.

All of the files I copy over have md5 files already created so I have been happy with md5...
October 3, 200619 yr Author Yeah my thing is, we are talking about thousands of files in a deep directory tree. I would like something that I can run once and build a file to check the whole tree and then run the same on unraid. There are some programs that will do this for WIN and they generate a file with the checksums that you can then feed into cfv. I have a par2 binary that I can run successfully on unraid without issue but since it only allows you check files in one directory it is a pain too and I have not found a way to automate it. Writing a batch file on windows and then a shell script on unraid to walk a dir tree is not something I am looking forward to doing.
October 4, 200619 yr Would md5deep do the trick? I found it on linuxpackages.net. http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=9470
October 5, 200619 yr Author Well I tried it. MD5 is slooooooooooowwww compared to a simple CRC. It is almost quicker to do a CRC over the network. Looking at CFV it looks like it may require python so that may be a total no go. BARG! Thanks anyway. I will keep looking but if anyone has any ideas let me know.
