[olpc-software] duplicate file wastage

[Pádraig Brady]

I just ran FSlint (http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/)
over /var/lib/olpc-image-tools/install-root and it
reported 10MB of wasted space on my ext3 filesystem due to duplicates.
Note most of the space was due to duplicate .py[co] files.
Also there are a lot of empty directories
(does JFFS2 allocate much space per directory?)

You can use FSlint to merge the duplicates using hardlinks,
or there is the seperate hardlink util that some
redhat kernel developers use.

cheers,
Pádraig.
