| 7 | If you have copied from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb then `md5sum /dev/sda / |
| 8 | dev/sdb` will compare both drives. You're probably safest to compare a |
| 9 | partition at a time `md5sum /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1` to make sure the free |
| 10 | space at the end of the drive don't throw things off. I'm pretty sure |
| 11 | I've used this successfully. |
