File Servers... how are you handling duplicates
I recommend the use of jdupes, a fork of the well-known fdupes, to find duplicate files.

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
200 lines of Nim [1] seems to run about 9X faster than the 8000 lines of C in fdupes on a little test dir I have. If you need C, I think jdupes [2] is faster as @TacticalCoder points out a couple of times here. In my testing, `dups` is usually faster than `jdupes`, though.

I'm amazed how I find anything & why I have so many dupes!
There's always the well-respected tool, Czkawka. Or, of the CLI is your thing, jdupes is a good option.

My research into this many years ago turned out that jdupes was the right / best solution I could find for my usecase.

Though that works fine from a script perspective I'd like some more interactive way of sorting directories etc. Identifying is just the first step, jdupes helps with linking the files (both soft and hard links comes with caveats though!) but that is mostly to save space, not to help in reorganisation.

Does jdupes do a 'dry run' if you just specify directory(s) and no other options
I can work it out by looking at https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes.

replace duplicates with hard links - I think jdupes is the answer, or maybe fclones (I have questions)
I have looked at a few alternatives and think jdupes is the one for me. Then I found out it was not multi-threaded so will give it a go but the developer of jdupes recomended fclones (https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes/issues/186) if you were dealing with large file systems and wanted multi-threading. But as I am using a HD it may not be necessary.

File Deduplication
I recently used [fdupes](https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes) to figure out duplicate files from my amazon cloud drive / photos migration. Took about 2 days to scour through about 1.5TB worth of day.

How would I go about copying around 5TB worth of data, from multiple drives to a singular drive/drives (Shared Pools/Raid)?
I would add the content of your current drives with rysnc to the new big drive. I would then run https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes To remove duplicate files.
