file_merge

Script to find identical files in a filesystem and merge them together using hard links.

The implementing idea is from fslint

This script has the advantage, that it detects files with the same inode (hardlinks) and does not merge this files together.

At the moment there is no real interface to use the functinality. You have to open a python-shell and Load a path via INodeFileList(PATH)

files = INodeFileList('/path/to/directory')
files.merge

TODOs

There is still a lot do to before this script is usable.

  • Interface to call use the functioality
  • More tests
  • Documentation
