Hi All,

A project on my list at home is consolidation of unorganized backups
smeared across a bunch of ide hdds.  Partions are ext2, ext3, vfat,
reiser, etc ... No backups are incremental, so there are lots of
duplicates.  I was thinking of indexing the files using their md5sums,
consolidating the list, then coping the list files to a single new
hdd, then verifying the copy using the md5sum.  Any comments?  Any
suggestions on the choice of target filesystem?  The larger issue
issue is a few hundred cd and dvd backups, but for now, getting rid of
the stack of old hdds would be good.
