compare directories
 

Hello guys,

I have two mirrors. I need to compare files and directories on both mirrors and as a result print list of those which are missing on mirror 2

What i did

find /data > find.mirror1


find /data > find.mirror2

Now i need to get list of those directories which are missing in mirror1.

Thanks in advance!

David

I use this bash function:
dirdiff ()
{
local src="$1" dst;
dst="${2:-.}";
if [ -z "$src" ]; then
err "missing original directory";
return 1;
fi;
if ! [ -d "$src" ]; then
err "$src: not a directory";
return 1;
fi;
if ! [ -d "$dst" ]; then
err "$dst: not a directory";
return 1;
fi;
diff -u <(cd "$src" && find . | LC_ALL=C sort |
sed -e 's/^..//') <(cd "$dst" && find . | LC_ALL=C sort |
sed -e 's/^..//')
}

Can you use rsync with the -n switch (dryrun) to mirror from
mirror 1 to mirror 2 and see what would be transferred?

You can run diff with the two files, but why not just use rsync to fix
it in a single step?


To compare directories with rsync, cd into one of them and:
rsync -avn . /target/path
The -n option says to not actually copy files, but with the -v option
this will list the files that are missing or different. Because the -a
option also sets the owner and modes, this may list files where those
are the only differences. Omit the -n option to make the changes.


The target path may be on a different host if you use the form
user@host:/path/to/target. With older versions of rsync you might have
to add -essh to the arguments but that is the default now. If you would
like any extra files in the target copy to be deleted, you can add the
--delete option, but be sure you know what you are doing first.
