Some time ago I saw a message posted to a FreeBSD list about a script that compares files and if they are identical, deletes the duplicate and creates a hard link in its place. The end result is that less disk space is required. I now have need for this script but I can't find the post in the list archives. If anybody is using such a script or something similar please let me know. I probably could create one myself but I don't want my filesystem to be at the mercy of untested code if I can help it.
