Symlinks are a problem for diff because diff doesn't distinguish a symlink
from the file it references. You might isolate the symlinks with:
find . -type l -exec ls -l {} \; |
sed -E 's/( *[^ ]*){8}//' >TheLinks
... in each filesystem and compare the generated listings of links.
What's your objective:
o Merely to verify that the filesystems are identical?
o To resolve any differences?
