Hi,

that function to the current local filesystem only, instead of trying to

Finding duplicates over filesystems should be considered being a special
use case which could/should be handled sepa
Getting rid of the only race condition that matters:

relying on the return code, which may be wrong for NFS,
call stat to find out if you created the file. Rename the
link over top of the file it is intended to replace. In case
that fails, rem

Hi there,
Maybe you did not understand the proposed algorithm, no copies are
involved, just file renaiming. I was thinking more in the lines of
doing this:
IF A and B are the same THEN
- move B to a temporary file (predefined name or random name, as long
as the file does not exist)
- create a har
