There's a package called 'cfv' which can do exactly that. Here's how: 1. make sure the file you're going to use to store the checksums doesn't exist: $ rm -f /tmp/sums.md5 2. cd into the directory you copied: $ cd /tmp/old 3. create the checksum file: $ cfv -C -rr -t md5 -f /tmp/sums.md5 /tmp/sums.md5: 3 files, 3 OK. 0.037 seconds, 2.4K/s 4. cd into the directory you copied to: $ cd /tmp/new 5. check that the copied files match the originals: $ cfv -f /tmp/sums.md5 dir2/date3.txt : crc does not match (1737229c0904a5a4795fd6c2545a7ee9!=f8a99763fdef1273a1abcd8ae63182a0) /tmp/sums.md5: 3 files, 2 OK, 1 badcrc. 0.010 seconds, 8.5K/s I copied /tmp/old to /tmp/new and corrupted dir2/date3.txt in the copy. cfv correctly reports the corrupted file.
