Package: fdupes
Version: 1.50-PR2-3
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Wanted to do: fdupes -H -L
* What was the outcome of this action?
fdupes: options --linkhard and --hardlinks are not compatible
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Does what I asked of it.The only way to achieve the desired result is to run fdupes --linkhard multiple times (until it stops merging hardlinked groups of files) This is impractical for large directories. For example: if I run mkdir -p test/a test/b echo "blah" >test/a/a echo "blah" >test/b/a ln test/a/a test/a/b ln test/b/a test/b/b # now a/a and a/b share 1 inode and b/a, b/b share one inode fdupes -r -L test # now a/a a/b and b/b share 1 inode but b/a is all by itself fdupes -r -L test # now they all share 1 inode, the desired result -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages fdupes depends on: ii libc6 2.13-21 fdupes recommends no packages. fdupes suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
