Sort the MD5 checksum files and then do a diff. This seems to be a fairly safe approach (CVS is disabled while this check is done so that people cannot modify the ,v files). This will automatically verify all versions of the file at once. This is done automatically just after the mirror has been synced with the main server using rsync. Although rsync has its own checksumming system this has trapped some files that were bit scrambled during the rsync transfer due to bad RAM. The process described takes about 15 minutes on a P200 Linux SCSI system for about 2.5G of data which is a not unreasonable amount of down time in our environment.
