rdfind /mnt/Photo 		# look for duplicate and store the one found in results.txt

# rdfind ⮺ / github

Avoid manipulating the directories while rdfind is reading.

It does not follow symlink by default. It generate absolute path for symlink => see symlink to transform them

-makesymlinks true replace duplicates with a symbolic link to the original. Exit.

rdfind -makesymlinks true /mnt/Photo

-makehardlinks true replace duplicates with a hard link to the original. Exit. -deleteduplicates true delete (unlink) duplicate files. Exit.
