Hi,
I have a hard link based incremental backups of a server and for some days their size grow up too fast. I tried to find a way to get a clear report of changes between two spanshops, but I could figure it out, so I created a program with Qt to create the report and found where the size "leak" was.
What the program does is to work with inodes instead of files:
1. Removed files: shows a list of inodes that do not exist in the newer snapshop.
2. New files: shows a list of inodes that do not exist in the older snapshot.
The report format is SIZE and FILEPATH (only one coincindence per inode)
For more than 900 thousand files it takes a few minutes and uses a bit more than 1GB of RAM in a USB 3.0 drive.
Here come the question:
¿Is there a way to get the same report using command line?
If not I will add the program to yaourt after creating a CLI version, but it is so simpe that I am pretty sure that something must exist already (via cpio or so).
I will also upload the program to yaourt if the already existing way of doing this takes much more time or uses much more RAM.
