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.
Kind regards.
