So: Which tools should I look at? fslint springs to mind but I've never really used it in anger and the documentation seems a bit vague. The GUI option is out because there's no X on the server. Are there other, better (more appropriate) tools?
I'd be looking at scripting something with find, its -exec option, md5sum, sort, mv and maybe ln if I want to keep the filenames, but I've not looked at fslint.
Hope that helps,
