Looking at all the possible features that BTRFS has, I was impressed to discover how much deduplication can matter. Sadly, there is no easy way for users to configure a periodic deduplication.

Looking at all the periodic scripts that this project provides, periodic deduplication might be a right fit for it.

Details

I would propose the use of BEES, and not Duperemove because BEES works on a block level. It will therefore not be as efficient as a file-based deduplication system, but it would be more suitable for general usage.

As with most of the scripts within this project, it would be worthwhile to look for a sensible default that doesn't drain to many resources while running.
