That is what I > do for large files. My M.O. is to make MD5(*) sums of just about every file. So after i move files around, i just verify the MD5 sums. The amount of data moved is usually (a lot) bigger than available RAM, so i usually forgo clearing the cache, otherwise i do a umount/mount-cycle before verifying the MD5 sums. I'm doing this since a few years ago when i had trouble with a particular USB2<->Sata chip that had a rare tendency to corrupt a specific bit-pattern every now and then. Since then i had never any trouble with data-corruption. *: This case doesn't concern security, so MD5 is "good enough". -- Matthias _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
