md5check directories
July 12th, 2008 by webstersprodigy
This is a python script that recursively md5sums all the files in your directory and compares it with another directory. It is similar, and probably less good than
find /dirone -type f -print0 | md5sum
but this was coded to check if the directory structure copied cleanly to a *windows* box. It seems to work ok. TODO: only read line by line if file is over a certain size, else read line by line like it does now.
