debian-user:
I am migrating data between machines and operating systems (Debian 9 and
FreeBSD 12.1) and would like to do file integrity checking:
https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/it-security/use-mtree-for-filesystem-integrity-auditing/
It works on FreeBSD:

The equivalent tool is pronounced fmtree(8) on Debian (package
freebsd-buildutils). It does not seem to understand the sha256digest
keyword (?):

Any suggestions?
