I just got a new fileserver and have copied the files off of my old fileserver onto this shiny new one. Before I take my old filesever offline, I would like to compare the files on both machines to insure that nothing got corrupted during the copy process. Is there a command that I can use to do this in one shot? I have been playing around with diff and the best I can do is to get it to give me a list of "common subdirectories", but it's not comparing the actual files. It took all night to copy the files so I'd think a real compare would take twice that long, and everything that I try with diff seems to run in a few seconds.
Check out the "-r" option of diff. Paul.
