Hashdeep audits fail when known files computed on different operating system

Open jessek opened this issue 13 years ago • 1 comments

If you generate hashes recursively on a Windows (-c md5 -r -l *), it will have the Windows separator which is different from the Linux separator. So if you check these hashes from a Linux system, it will fail to verify saying the file has been moved.

Hi Jesse, twelve and a half years later and this bug still trips me up from time to time. I was considering a pull request for a new parameter to flip the directory separator (/ to \ or \ to /). Do you have other plans?
