I think there was a USS tools&toys thing (fscp?) that'd compare the contents of
two filesystems that I used to run when converting those from HFS to ZFS years
ago, but the tools&toys page is gone now so I can't grab that to check. Pretty
sure it wouldn't work for what I want to do anyhow, which is to compare the
files/directories/etc in two paths that could be in different locations in
their filesystems. Is there something else that says "this guy's missing, this
one's new, the attributes (or better yet contents) of these are different" for
USS? I cobbled together this from something a coworker had that compared just
directories-and made it compare the listings of those directories-but the
output's a little ugly. Do you have or know of anything better?
#!/bin/sh
# Change these variables:
NEWDIR="/my/new/path"
OLDDIR="/my/old/path"
#
# Leave these as-is unless you know what you're doing
FDOPT="-type d -xdev"
LSDIR="-exec ls -lAs {}"
TMPFILE1=/tmp/find1.out
TMPFILE2=/tmp/find2.out
TMPOUT=/tmp/compare.out
#
# Gather the new directory listing and stick in in TMPFILE1
echo "Starting directory " $NEWDIR > $TMPFILE1
PRDIR="-exec echo ---- Scanning ${NEWDIR}/ {}"
cd $NEWDIR
find . $FDOPT $PRDIR \; $LSDIR \; >> $TMPFILE1
#
# Gather the old directory listing and stick it in TMPFILE2
echo "Starting directory " $OLDDIR > $TMPFILE2
PRDIR="-exec echo ---- Scanning ${OLDDIR}/ {}"
cd $OLDDIR
find . $FDOPT $PRDIR \; $LSDIR \; >> $TMPFILE2
#
# compare the listing files and save it in TMPOUT:
diff -c0 $TMPFILE1 $TMPFILE2 > $TMPOUT
#
# display the results:
cat $TMPOUT
#
# clean up the temporary files:
rm $TMPFILE1
rm $TMPFILE2
rm $TMPOUT
Thanks!
