Possibly you could do something like...
(cd /fs1 && find . -mount -printf '%m %n %u %g %s %Cs %p\n') | sort > fs1.out
(cd /fs2 && find . -mount -printf '%m %n %u %g %s %Cs %p\n') | sort > fs2.out
diff fs1.out fs2.out
... this should show difference in filesystem structure (presence or absence
of files/dirs), modes, link counts, users, groups, size, and ctime. The cd
at the beginning to make so we only compare relative path names. See the
find(1L) man page for the details of -printf if you want to compare more or
less stuff - you might not care about links counts of modification times for
instance.
