Package: fdupes
Version: 1.50-PR2-3
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
By mistake, I have been using fdupes -rL on what i thought were
directories, but one was a symbolic link to a directory on another
file system. It found duplicates accross file systems, ... and
removed one end. For the little story, the end where it removed
files was /lib, and I was deduplicating chroots, so it found
plenty of duplicates... try running anything without ld.so...
Anyways, this can easily be reproduced. Assuming /mnt/a and /mnt/b
are two different filesystems:
$ echo a > /mnt/a/a
$ echo a > /mnt/a/b
$ echo a > /mnt/b/a
$ fdupes -rL /mnt/a /mnt/b
[+] /mnt/a/a
[h] /mnt/a/b
-- unable to create a hardlink for the file: Invalid cross-device link
[!] /mnt/a/a
$ ls /mnt/b
$
