I have a server that is undergoing some patching soon and would like to make note of any files that have changed after the patching is complete. Can you recommend a tool that uses md5sum snapshots to do a quick before and after test, showing anything that's changed on a particular file system?
I always like brute force - and the ability to undo things... If you have space somewhere to rsync (-aH) a backup copy of the filesystems before the changes, repeating the rsync with -aHvn --delete, (don't forget that -n) will show what is different afterwards.
