I've found the interesting tool hardlink, supposedly it scans
directories looking for duplicates files and eventually can
consolidate them using hardlinks
Well it doesn't work for me, eg:
[sergio@madryn tmp]$ ls /tmp/test1 /tmp/test2
/tmp/test1:
alpha
/tmp/test2:
alpha
[sergio@madryn tmp]$

I would look at the modification datetime.
studiodesktop:/tmp $ echo test test1
(wait at least a second)
studiodesktop:/tmp $ echo test test2
studiodesktop:/tmp $ hardlink -n -v -v tes*
Directories 0
Objects 2
IFREG 2
In my opinion the -c option is the most rational use of hardlink,
except where the files are empty.
In the later case touch can be used align the timestamps before you
decide to combine the inode.
$ touch -r test1 test2
