Yes, as soon as the "dir" and "Urls" => "urls" are migrated into the new place. Regarding the performance problem above ... do you know perl? I think it would get *much* faster this way - just put all existing files into some hash (possibly by using FSVS to get the list), and then running through the reported entries (from "fsvs st -v") should be fast enough ... If you're using the commandline program "md5sum" in a shell loop, it might be sufficient to replace that with a perl loop; that should bring at least 2-10x speed improvements (just thought loud, didn't measure). BTW - do you have some place for versioning this script, or if you don't, how about the FSVS repository? I could give you commit access, if you like. Thank you very much for your effort! Regards, Phil -- Versioning your /etc, /home or even your whole installation? Try fsvs (fsvs.tigris.org)!
