Nice! I was looking at du(1) output on macOS which appears to indicate all files are duplicated. It probably just can’t tell the files are clonefile’d.

- Jarred 3y agoThere is a very obscure undocumented api in macOS for detecting if two files are equal block-by-block but yeah I don’t think most tools can tell when files are clonefile’d
- Cu3PO42 3y agoJust a note on your documentation: it says "this benefit does not extend to macOS" about saving disk space. I find that to be slightly misleading. Since arguably the most common FS for macOS is now APFS, it does save significant disk space unless one were to modify the node_modules files.
