How to Customize a BART Report by Specifying File Attributes

This procedure is useful to filter the output from existing manifests for specific file attributes.

  1. Determine which file attributes to check.
  2. Compare two manifests that contain the file attributes to be checked.

    For example:

    # bart compare -i lnmtime,mtime control-manifest.121513 \
    test-manifest.010514 > bart.report.010514

    Use a comma in the command-line syntax to separate each file attribute.

  3. Examine the BART report for oddities.
