[CentOS] Directory Compare
I need to verify some directories of backed up data versus restored data. What would you recommend as the type of comparison to do, and which tool would give the easiest/most usable output? Thanks! jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What would you recommend as the type of comparison to do, and which tool would give the easiest/most usable output? Diff works if they are on the same machine. On different machines you can: rsync -avn -essh local-dir [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/above_dir The -a option says to recurse and take all possible attributes, -v says show the file names, and -n says don't actually do it (be careful not to omit that..). This will give you a list of filenames that have some difference between local_dir and the remote copy. If you add a --delete it will also show anything that exists in the remote but not the local side (and be especially careful not to omit the -n in this case). -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
