When I have this problem, I usually diff the checksum files with mc or vim, because I don’t usually have to check many directories and files. You could use Krusader, a two-panel file manager. This has a synchronise tool with a file filter, so you synchronize two sides, check for file content and filter for *.md5. > I suppose rsync can be used for the comparison to a backup fs anyway, your > script would be duplicating a function unnecessarily. I believe rsync is capable of only syncing only files that match a pattern. But it was not very easy to achieve, I think. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
