Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a utility for finding duplicate files within a filesystem. It needs to operate relatively fast as I have to search through about 30Gig of files.
I have found a couple of Java apps on Freshmeat but most do not appear to work on SuSE 9.2. and I have a very limited knowledge of using java.
Graham, I found a small utility on another list some time ago and it seems to do a pretty good job. It's a comman line thingie about 8 lines long. It'll do recursive checking and then list all the dups by groups so you can delete the ones you dont want. I found it useful to clean some crap off my drives. It's only about 300 bytes small. If you want, I'lll send it to you as an attachment. Richard -- Old age ain't for Sissies!
