This may not be a bug in the program. If a user tries to dedupe a file
for which they don't have write permissions and aren't root, dedupe will
fail with 0 bytes processed.
In commit 5eb89cc2bd7cd37f2a27b587b563ac8f3eb1ff7f I have introduced two
changes to make it easier to determine if the problem is a permissions one:
- No write permission check and an additional message at the end of the
warning or error telling the user that they don't have write permission
for the file
- "dedupe only did 0 bytes" instead says that "dedupe failed" so the
user is less confused by the warning.
If you have verified that you have write access to both of the files in
a deduplication pair and are still having issues, please let me know.
