The "online to offline" comparison has value, just the "offline to online" comparison does not. More precisely: You never know if any checksums taken on a running system are reported correctly. But: If you take an online system (powered up), take checksums of important files or partitions, and they are the same after the system later becomes offline (powered down), then they were reported correctly to begin with. Whereas if they were correct before running it and are then are reported correct while the system is running, it does not tell you anything. > Would you care to share your solution, Clive? Currently I take checksums of the partition regularly during operation and while the system is turned off. The "online to offline" comparison works fine, whereas the "offline to online" does not always work, hence this thread. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuYABcACgkQ+VSRxYk440+zggCff46xqEFwasjC1gxwvNFduWwn DesAoOPKI/to4BAHs5bs96E3cM9Erud1 =qOjq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
