Hello, I tried to use "bedup" BTRFS offline deduplication tool on several BTRFS machines, with mixed results : 1/ Crashes with messages stating "programming error", sqlite objects must be used inside of the thread that created them, blah-blah... 2/ Crashes stating that some file/objects miss a "live" attribute (?) 3/ bedup eating all my system RAM, then swap over 7GB until the system trashes itself. Wel, besides that and restarting over and over, I could deduplicate some files and gain some noticeable space, but it looks extremely bugged and unreliable. I tried to email the maintainer with details, twice, thru 2 different channels, got no anwser... And it looks like the GIT has not evolved since August, 2013. So my questions are : - Is "bedup" maintained or abandoned ? - Is it supposed to be usable ? - Should I use it ? - Is there a risk that it causes data loss or corruption ? TIA.
