I tried Googling initially and got very little that wasn't assuming a user was on a Windows machine and they all basically said to do what I outlined above but manually copying the files across and checking they read correctly afterwards (so less precise than using md5sum and not at all automated/scripted.) It's not a full testing of a flash device I'm worried about, especially as they are new, I just want to know they really are the size they report as being...
