Package: fdupes Version: 1.50-PR2-3 Severity: normal
Try runnig these commands: mkdir 1 2 3 echo AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA > 1/A1 echo AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA > 2/A2 ln 1/A1 3/A3 echo BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB > 1/B1 echo BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB > 2/B2 ln 2/B2 3/B3 echo CCCCCCCCCCCCCCC > 1/C1 ln 1/C1 2/C2 echo CCCCCCCCCCCCCCC > 3/C3 ls -li [123]/[ABC][123] fdupes -r 1 2 3 fdupes -r 1 3 2 fdupes -r 2 1 3 fdupes -r 2 3 1 fdupes -r 3 1 2 fdupes -r 3 2 1 When you run the fdupes commands, it should report two duplicate Ax files, two duplicate Bx files and two duplicate Cx files. Not three files, as the third file is a link. But sometimes this isn't the case: # fdupes -r 1 3 2 3/A3 2/A2 1/B1 2/B2 1/C1 3/C3 2/C2 # ls -li [123]/[ABC][123] 90180 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 16 Apr 27 14:53 1/A1 90182 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 Apr 27 14:53 1/B1 90185 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 16 Apr 27 14:53 1/C1 90181 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 Apr 27 14:53 2/A2 90184 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 16 Apr 27 14:53 2/B2 90185 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 16 Apr 27 14:53 2/C2 90180 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 16 Apr 27 14:53 3/A3 90184 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 16 Apr 27 14:53 3/B3 90186 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 Apr 27 14:53 3/C3 As seen above, fdupes report "1/C1" and "2/C2" ad duplicates, even though they point to the same inode. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_DK, LC_CTYPE=en_DK (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages fdupes depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib fdupes recommends no packages. fdupes suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
