+1 for rsync, or, even better, just follow the backup instructions in the wiki, and loop mount the resulting image on your host

.

You'll have to tweak the checklist a bit to fix the paths, but that should be trivial with a quick bit of sed magic

.

Say, with a dump mounted on /home/niluje/Kindle/K5_ROOT, I'd do:

Code:

sed -r -e 's#(^[[:xdigit:]]{32})([[:blank:]]*)(.*?$)#\1\2/home/niluje/Kindle/K5_ROOT\3#g' /home/niluje/Kindle/K5_ROOT/opt/factory/rootfs_md5_list > tweaked_md5_list
md5sum -c tweaked_md5_list
