Use pv with find -exec












0















I use the following command to verify ~700 GiB of backed-up files:



$ find -type f -exec md5sum | sort {} + > ~/checksums


This takes many hours, so I would like to integrate pv into the command to show the progress.



I could do this:



$ find -type f -exec pv {} + | md5sum


But it concatenates all of the files, resulting in only one checksum.



So how could I include pv and still get a text file full of checksums at the end?
