Maybe you could use something like this in the directory you're looking at: find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -r -n 100 md5 -r > md5sums You could now just sort the md5sums file to find all entries with the same md5... Or sort by filename (will need some more logic if files are distributed over several subdirectories) to weed out those with the same name and different checksums. Alex.
