I've recently started using rdfind for this kind of thing. It does something that fdupes doesn't AFAICT, which is replacing all but one copy of the duplicated files with symlinks.
- dreamcompiler 3y agordfind and jdupes can replace copies with hardlinks too. Hardlinks have the advantage that they're all identically "real", so there's no heuristic needed to figure out which file should be the "real" one and which ones should be the symlinks. Hardlinks have the disadvantage that they only work on a single disk partitition, while symlinks can span partitions.
