What is the best tool to compare file hashes in two different drives/directories such as after copying a large number of files from one drive to another? I used cp -au to copy directories, not rsync, since it is between local disks.
diff --brief -r dir1/ dir2/
might do what you need.
If you also want to see differences for files that may not exist in either directory:
diff --brief -Nr dir1/ dir2/
But is diff not best suited for text files?
