I'm jumping on this discussion late but I found a great number (but not so much in size I suspect) of dupes when I ran fdupes on my drives now. Some in quite unexpected places. eg. we have job submission shell wrappers for PBS/torque. The number of dupes indicates that often people are not removing these files at all after the job finishes. So, more than an automated-dedup solution fdupes has helped me know what are the filesystem cleanup opportunities I have! The next time someone comes running for a disk quota increase I know what to check! ;-) -- Rahul
