I just finished copying a few TB of data to my unRaid. Before I destroy the source copies (I have a backup of the all the source HDD) I would like to check the file integrity of the files copied. I was thinking of using XMD5 in proftpd, but it looks like it needs to be compiled in manually. When I try this on unRaid, I get the following error. Is there an [easier] way to check file integrity? rsync maybe?

 

root@unraid:/boot/proftpd-1.3.2a# ./configure --with-modules=mod_md5
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld

See `config.log' for more details.

There is the md5sum command on unRAID.

Thank you WeeboTech.

 

Is it possible to run this and compare the files on another computer (on the network)?

See the MD5SUMs section for a Windows tool that produces MD5 hash values, and there are others too.  They should all produce the same MD5 sums.

I'm sure you can find an md5sum tool for windows.

And since there is one on unRAID, you can run one on the source windows, one on the destination machine and compare results.
