Yes, thank you very much. You too, I believe?

Of course ... it's an MD5 per file >= 128kB.

Sorry, I don't understand you here.

Yes, as soon as the "dir" and "Urls" => "urls" are migrated into the new
place.
Regarding the performance problem above ... do you know perl? I think it would
get *much* faster this way - just put all existing files into some hash
(possibly by using FSVS to get the list), and then running through the
reported entries (from "fsvs st -v") should be fast enough ...
If you're using the commandline program "md5sum" in a shell loop, it might be
sufficient to replace that with a perl loop; that should bring at least 2-10x
speed improvements (just thought loud, didn't measure).
BTW - do you have some place for versioning this script, or if you don't, how
about the FSVS repository? I could give you commit access, if you like.
Thank you very much for your effort!
Regards,
Phil

Versioning your /etc, /home or even your whole installation?
Try fsvs (fsvs.tigris.org)!
