Re: hard disk activity

Terry, Yeah, I was sketching out a scenario much like that. It does break things down pretty well, and that gets my file sync scenario up to much larger files. Even if many changes are made to a file, if you keep track of the number of bytes and checksum over from 1 to the number of bytes differ

Re: hard disk activity

Of course that was the first thing I tried. But what I meant to say was that at least one port, the python one, didn't have the checksum validation that Paul was talking about, so I was wondering if he knew of one that was faithful to the unix port of it. Thanks much for the links, though, and al

Re: hard disk activity

Thanks for the head's up. I was so giddy with the simplicity of the solution, I stopped trying to poke holes in it. I agree with your philosophy of not "reinventing the wheel", but I did notice two things: First, the link you provided claims in the features section that rsync if for *nix systems

Re: hard disk activity

Aweseme!!! I got as far as segmenting the large file on my own, and I ran out of ideas. I kind of thought about checksum, but I never put the two together. Thanks. You've helped a lot V -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: hard disk activity

Pretty much, yeah. Except I need diffing a pair of files that exist on opposite ends of a network, without causing the entire contents of the file to be transferred over that network. Now, I have the option of doing this: If I am able to determine that (for instance) bytes 10468 to 1473 in a 849

Re: hard disk activity

I agree with you wholeheartedly, but the large files is part of the business requirements. Thanks for the link. I'll look into it. V -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: hard disk activity

I'm working primarily on Windows XP, but my solution needs to be cross platform. The problem is that I need more than the fact that a file has been modified. I need to know what has been modified in that file. I am needing to synchronize the file on a remote folder, and my current solution, whic

hard disk activity

I have a task that involves knowing when a file has changed. But while for small files this is an easy enough task, checking the modification dates, or doing a compare on the contents, I need to be able to do this for very large files. Is there anything already available in Python that will allow
