 |
|
Is there a tool out there that will test the integrity of a CD I just burned? I've been having problems with CD-Rs crapping out on me and returning errors when I try to read them, so I want to be able to do a check right after I burn.
ISO9660 FS, of course.
Thanks. |

If you made it from an ISO,
| Code: | | md5sum /dev/cdrom source_file.iso |
and compare the numbers |

| It's not an ISO. It's a bunch of files I burned onto it. |

Hm. Well it that case the fastest way to do this is probably:
| Code: | | diff /mnt/cd ~/mydir |
That is assuming you burnt all the files from a directory on the hard drive and thus the directory structure is the same on both.
If not, you're in for rather labouriously comparing the md5sums of each file. |
