rsync by default compares metadata first, and only checks through every byte if you add the -c (checksum) flag. I would say rsync is the best tool here. The "find -newer blah" suggested in other posts won't catch newer files with an old timestamp (which could happen for various reasons, like being copied with kept timestamps from somewhere else). /Tomas -- Tomas Ögren, st...@acc.umu.se, http://www.acc.umu.se/~stric/ |- Student at Computing Science, University of Umeå `- Sysadmin at {cs,acc}.umu.se _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
