Package: diffutils Version: 1:3.0-1 Severity: normal
I've just migrated our media server to new disks using cp -ar and just to make sure everything went over alright I compared the old and the new set with diff -rq, with the attached result. (Sorry for the German locale: - 'Nur in' => 'Only in' - 'Dateien [...] und [...] sind verschieden' => 'Files [...] and [...] are different / differ' ) The thing is, there *aren't actually* any differences (verified with fdupes and md5sum) and diff's result even varies depending on the paths it's called with. diff -rq crypt crypt.new # see log diff -rq crypt/Crypt/Misc/Bernhard/Ongaku crypt.new/Crypt/Misc/Bernhard/Ongaku # see log diff -rq crypt/Crypt/Misc/Bernhard/Ongaku/前野健太 - さみしいだけ crypt.new/Crypt/Misc/Bernhard/Ongaku/前野健太 - さみしいだけ # no differences, same for the other album #copy Crypt/Misc/Bernhard/Ongaku/前野健太* from both mount points to new directories and diff those => no differences Before you ask, I've lots of Japanese, Hindi and Korean file names on the fs, these are the only files that triggered. So I'm guessing there's something wrong with diff's file name / path name handling, maybe length-dependent?.
