Duperemove is a simple tool for finding duplicated extents and
|
|
submitting them for deduplication. When given a list of files it will
|
|
hash their contents on an extent by extent basis and compare those
|
|
hashes to each other, finding and categorizing extents that match each
|
|
other. Optionally, a per-block hash can be applied for further
|
|
duplication lookup. When given the -d option, duperemove will submit
|
|
those extents for deduplication using the Linux kernel FIDEDUPRANGE
|
|
ioctl.
|
|
|
|
Duperemove can store the hashes it computes in a 'hashfile'. If given an
|
|
existing hashfile, duperemove will only compute hashes for those files
|
|
which have changed since the last run. Thus you can run duperemove
|
|
repeatedly on your data as it changes, without having to re-checksum
|
|
unchanged data.
|
|
|
|
Duperemove can also take input from the fdupes program.
|
|
|
|
Deduplication is currently only supported by the btrfs and xfs
|
|
filesystems.
|
|
|
|
fdupes is an optional runtime dependency (allows the use of the --fdupes
|
|
command line option).
