I looked around for another way to check the sticks. I thought if I
put something huge on the stick, and then use diff, that would do the

/home to the stick, and do a "diff -r", that would test much of the
stick. But diff can't compare contents of binary files. So I looked
at cmp.
As a brute force and ignorance approach, you could copy some very large
files (such as an ISO) several times to the thing, compare them against
the original file.
