I'm using hashdeep to verify backups/restores and occasionally to check for file system corruption in a RAID.
The speed depends on which hash functions you use (some are more CPU intensive than others) as well as the read speed of your disks. On my system hashdeep can process or verify around 1 ...
Specifically, the line:
hashdeep -rlc md5 * > ~/checksums.txt
* here is supposed to match all files, but as I recall, * doesn't actually match all files.
I suppose I could ask this as a question. Is it reasonable?
I'm a bit puzzled why this answer has so many upvotes because it doesn't actually work.
This doesn't work without an extra sorting step, because the order in which find will list the files will differ in general between the two directories. — Faheem Mitha27 mins ago
@Kusalananda btw I opened an issue on the hashdeep Github page about this. Checking all files in a directory seems like it would be a standard use case.
@Kusalananda Hidden files.
But I just want to know whether there is an obviously correct choice here. I find such things confusing.
Was hoping to get a little help. I am trying to figure out if python json_tricks (pypi.python.org/pypi/json_tricks) has been packaged for Arch in either the official repo or the AUR. If it is not, I will package it, but I don't want to create a duplicate package
@StrongBad not an arch user since a while, but they usually replace any _ with - and you can try searching "python json" and the the rest of the big list with Ctrl+F
@ChristopherDíazRiveros The cat is meowing for attention, it's late evening, the temperature is ok, and I just figured out how the link count works for directories. So, all in all, pretty good.
well that's a big true :) I've learned here more in 3 weeks than maybe the last 2 months :p
well I can't complain :) here in Peru today is a holiday so I'm chilling with my laptop trying to figure out why my gnome-shell is killing itself :p great morning so far
nope, gnome-shell :) my window session, for a reason that I'm not fully capable of explain when I try to create a new workspace with the mouse, the X server sends a BadCursos message to my gnome-shell, causing it to kill itself and restart the session
@Kusalananda strace for X issues is usually not very informative. You just see a lot of binary data going back and forth. xtrace is more useful but for some issues gdb on the X server is the only way
@Gilles I don't like when I have to tell my girlfriend that I have a problem with my laptop, she starts to laugh about Linux *nix etc so I have to fix this :P
@Kusalananda just wondering why you're welcoming me here when I've been here practically continuously for about 7 years except when I reboot my PC or when I'm away from home
A n00b question for ls command.
