While working on my back-up recovery, I wanted to compare 2 large directories:

It took a mere 37 seconds.  The directory is about 6.7 GB (not Gb).  I do not believe that the diff could have done that comparison anywhere near that fast.

I've seen this before.

What do I need to do to be sure that diff really checks every bit?


ok.  I don't need to clear the cache.

Thank-you, Samuel and Tim, for your help.

I'm tagging this thread "CLOSED".
