Package duperemove: Information

Duperemove  is a simple 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. When given
the -d option, duperemove will submit those extents for
deduplication using the Linux kernel extent-same ioctl.

Duperemove can store the hashes it computes in a 'hashfile'.
If given an existing hashfile, duperemove will only compute
hashes for those files which have changed since the last
run. Thus you can run duperemove repeatedly on your data
as it changes, without having to re-checksum unchanged data.

Duperemove can also take input from the fdupes program.
