md5deep error with after compression and extraction
- by Sai
I am using md5deep to generate the checksum for the contents of an entire directory.
After generation, if I use the checksum file and run a check, there are no errors.
However, if I compress the file and extract it, it seems to generate an error about a missing file.
The file is just called .md5. There is no file called .md5 inside the directory. It seems to create a file that is not existent.
This problem exists when I use md5sum or md5deep. Any thoughts on why this is happening?
