I'm working on transferring a lot of files (>100GB, several thousands of files) over my network to a new Mac. Once the transfers are done I'd like to be able to verify that all of the files were successfully transferred and that no corruption occurred during the process.
The files are coming from a FreeNAS (open source NAS based on FreeBSD) server share. They're being loaded onto the Mac file system.
So far the best solution I can think of is running ls -aR
into a file for the share and then the local disk, then diffing the two files. Are there better solutions? Optionally, but even better, is there a way to do this which would hash the files to make sure that all the data was successfully transferred?
In terms of my computer skills, I'm comfortable using terminal applications so there's no need to recommend only GUI tools.
