Compare filesystem

Please open a terminal... then try something like this, type:

cd /path_of_dir1
find . | sort > dir1.txt

cd /path_of_dir2
find . | sort > dir2.txt

diff dir1.txt dir2.txt

Thanks for your info.

But: the second filesystem is an USB-drive. In the terminal I did the following:

cd Own_Data (harddisc)
find . | sort > Own_Data

Then I would change to the USB-Stick: But the mentioned name in Nautiluas is "2.0 GB Media" and this was not a accepted in the terminal. I entered
cd 2.0 GB Media.

 I got the error "bash: cd: 2.0: No such file or directory".

How can I address rhe USB-Stick?

Thnaks.

You need to discover the external usb mount point to do that... try to view the result of mount command... type:

mount

Better path...

cd /path_of_dir1
find . | sort > /tmp/dir1.txt

cd /path_of_dir2
find . | sort > /tmp/dir2.txt

cd /tmp
diff dir1.txt dir2.txt

Mount gives the following output:

root@linux-desktop:~# mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755)
varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)

/dev/sdb on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=0,utf8,umask=077,flush)
root@linux-desktop:~#

Which one is the USB-drive? Thanks.
Peter

i suppose /media/disk

cd /media/disk/..../path_of_dir1
find . | sort > /tmp/dir1.txt

cd /path_of_dir2
find . | sort > /tmp/dir2.txt

cd /tmp
diff dir1.txt dir2.txt
