Description-en: extent-based deduplicator for file systems
Duperemove is a tool for finding duplicated extents and submitting them for
deduplication. When given a list of files it will hash their contents on a
block by block basis and compare those hashes to each other, finding and
categorizing extents that match each other.
.
On BTRFS and, experimentally, XFS, it can then reflink such extents in a
race-free way. Unlike hardlink-based solutions, affected files appear
independent in any way other than reduced disk space used.
