OK. Here's my paranoia. If there are, say, 8 identical files, does the output of fdupes contain 8 or 7 files? If it lists all of them, you'll lose all of them. If 7, it will leave you one. Also -- better be sure fdupes is not fooled by symbolic links into thingking the original is a duplicate. Or by one file system being mounted at multiple locations. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
