Depending on exactly what you want to achieve and what "duplicate"
really means to you, it can be more complex than you at first think:

Also if using btrfs or XFS and recent kernel you may want consider
duplicate finders that can make use of FIDEDUPERANGE ioctl:

I know rmlint and duperemove can do this:

Maybe others.

Cheers,
