Command rmlint
usage
The command rmlint
can be used to dedup the files, which can support reflink.
I was using reflink dedup for BTRFS, but end up, I changed to hardlink. I think hardlink is more commonly used in Unix environment
Command
rmlint -T df --config=sh:handler=hardlink /dedup
This will dedup the files in /dedup directory, and will generate a file called rmlint.sh
in current directory. Run that shell script, will change duplicated files to hard link.
The -T df
means dedup files.
The config=sh
means generate shell script
The handler=hardlink
means generate script using hardlink dedup
Other options
There are many options, but I don't use them.
