Careful using md5sum... You're going to update all the access times on all the files, if you do any storage management stuff, you're suddenly going to see that all of your files just got accessed.
Having said that... here is a script that "should" do it:
src={your source directory}
cpy=(the copied directory}
cd $src
find . -type f -print | while read f; do
if [ `md5sum $src/$f $cpy/$f | cut -d' ' -f1 | uniq | wc -l` == 2 ]; then
echo "ERROR: $f differs"
fi
done

Subject: Re: how to check if the restored and original are the same
thanks. this was what i was thinking. but we have tera
bytes of data.
even for testing, we need to test at least 200GB of
data. how do i do that using md5sum for millions of
files?
