This is why we had to go with the "rsync --dry-run --itemise-changes" method. It requires a lot of scripting, LVM snapshots and works well with a gridengine installation. Doing multiple rsyncs of the network filesystem may be easier for you but the counting and comparing of files is going to be very slow and I doubt you will be able trawl an 80TB filesystem within 24 hours.
