Is there an easy way to replace duplicate files with hardlinks?
alex@sibirocobombus:~$ sudo apt-get install rdfind ... alex@sibirocobombus:~/alexschroeder.ch/gallery$ rdfind -makehardlinks true . Now scanning ".", found 1444 files. Now have 1444 files in total. Removed 0 files due to nonunique device and inode. Now removing files with zero size from list...removed 0 files Total size is 727909890 bytes or 694 Mib Now sorting on size:removed 1160 files due to unique sizes from list.284 files left. Now eliminating candidates based on first bytes:removed 38 files from list.246 files left. Now eliminating candidates based on last bytes:removed 41 files from list.205 files left. Now eliminating candidates based on md5 checksum:removed 0 files from list.205 files left. It seems like you have 205 files that are not unique Totally, 2 Mib can be reduced. Now making results file results.txt Now making hard links. Making 183 links.
It’s not much, but I like it.
