Art & NMGLugers. What OS on the NUC that failed? No recovery media? No way to boot live and look in? You do have some access as you are de-duplicating some files. What was the last working situation(OS. file system, etc)? Might be interesting. Thank you, Ted P On Tue, Aug 17, 2021 at 7:35 PM Art Barnes <art@pin2.io> wrote:
My old Intel NUC is still in a state of non-workingness, but this week I’ve been doing a bit of clean-up on my external drives which have multiplied over the years. I’ve been using jdupes for hunting down duplicate copies of my photos library, music library, reports etc. and it works pretty well. It only catches binary identical files though, so it won’t catch similar images or even identical images but with changes to the file header.

By default jdupes prints groups of duplicate files to stdout with each file separated by a single newline and groups separated by a pair of newlines. It’s not terribly useful by itself so usually it’s necessary to pass the output to some script. I wrote a short python script to delete all duplicates in the 2nd folder passed to it which are present in the 1st folder. I’m always worried about deleting everything by accident so my python script actually just writes out a shell script which then does the deleting.
