Checksum question

in HPUX: I am copying oracle datafiles from one mountpoint to another
the total size is about 250Gb. I wanted to perform a checksum on the target and make sure the files came overy properly.

Mountpoints:
/s01 to /u01
/s02 to /u02

I tried using "SUM" on these mountpoints but its taking 1+hr to run the checksum. Is there an alternative way?

thanks
Jigar
