Duperemove is a Linux command-line tool that finds duplicate file extents by hashing file contents and submits them for deduplication via the kernel FIDEDUPRANGE ioctl. It supports incremental runs through a persistent hashfile so unchanged data is not re-hashed.

Use cases

  • free up disk space by deduplicating duplicate file blocks on btrfs or xfs
  • find duplicate files and extents on a linux filesystem
  • run repeated dedupe scans without re-hashing unchanged files
  • dedupe a large directory tree recursively
  • reduce storage usage on a backup or media server

When to choose

  • you run Linux with a reflink-capable filesystem like btrfs or xfs and want kernel-level deduplication
  • you want incremental dedupe with a persistent hashfile
  • you need a fast C tool with multithreaded hashing

When to avoid

  • you are on macOS, Windows, or a filesystem without FIDEDUPRANGE support
  • you need cross-platform duplicate file finding rather than block-level dedupe
  • you want automatic, scheduled deduplication without scripting it yourself
