Re:[gentoo-user] Re: MD5SUM
nice on but doesn't tell me why the md5sum isn't correct... Usually I don't check the sums if it isn't 'critical' stuff or an OS. So after I checked the other sources and files I figured out that ALL md5sums are incorrect but the file-sizes aren't. In that case either the media is corrupted or my local os (Ubunto). The latter one I couldn't explain because its all genuine and updated almost on a daily basis... Don't know, may be I stick to my debian and let it just be... However, thanks for your efforts. Gee

I'm probably not suggesting anything you don't already know, but just in case: Notwithstanding that rsync is a superior tool just made for the job, I more often use tar instead of either rsync or cp. This is because when I back up a complete fs I use whichever LiveCD I have at hand (usually Knoppix) which doesn't always have rsync on it. Anyway, the tar command has the option -d which diffs the contents of the archive and the original fs, if you want to see what happened after the archive was written, or want to decide if it is time/worth making a fresher back up. Alternatively and more appropriately if you run this as part of a back up process, there is the -W option. From the man page: -W, --verify attempt to verify the archive after writing it HTH. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
