How to find duplciated files


xliv

Question

Hi,

following my tests, I went ahead and acquired a license. I followed the seeding guide to migrate data from my FlexRAID pool, and got it running without much trouble.

I have a question on file duplication. I did not enable any protection on my pool, but had initially warnings about duplicated files which were different. What happened is that, while I was running FlexRAID, a drive went missing, and one of my software re-created some of the missing files (media description files coming from automated scrapping). When I reconnected the missing drive, there were suddenly 2 copies of those files, and some did differ. I did not notice this, as FlexRAID apparently did not care about that.

I ticked the tick box to enable DrivePool to automatically resolve this conflict by choosing the newest copy of the file, and havre no more warnings.

However, my Pool is now reporting:

  • 11.6GB of duplicated files
  • 15.8 GB of "other"

Is there a way to understand what those are?
