  1. Re:CRC by inKubus · · Score: 3, Informative · on Ask Slashdot: How Do I De-Dupe a System With 4.2 Million Files?

    For the lazy, here are 3 more tools:
    fdupes, duff, and rdfind.

    Duff claims it's O(n log n), because they:

    Only compare files if they're of equal size.
    Compare the beginning of files before calculating digests.
    Only calculate digests if the beginning matches.
    Compare digests instead of file contents.
    Only compare contents if explicitly asked.
