finding same files across hardrives

[Andrei]

How about something like:

find /dir1 -type f | xargs md5sum | sort >data1.txt
find /dir2 -type f | xargs md5sum | sort >data2.txt

join ./data1.txt ./data2.txt 


I think this should give you all the files with the same content (not
sure how it would handle duplicates though, but I guess it should work)

Regards,
Andrei
