Is a tool available to check the integrity of copied files?

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi Ralph,

Just two things that I think haven't been mentioned yet...

1. The "sync" command tells the kernel to "Synchronize cached writes to
persistent storage"

2. If you want to easily check the integrity of a copy of a file, consider
calculating a checksum on the original - for example sha256sum.

See the man pages for more info or ask for more details...

HTH,


Ian
