The ioctl FIDEDUPERANGE and the tool duperemove both use "dupe".
It would be nice if we could be consistent and all use the same
abbreviation.
Yes, current kernel VFS level offline dedup uses the name "dedupe".
But on the other hand, ZFS uses the name "dedup" for their online dedup.
And personally speaking, I'd like some difference to distinguish inline
dedup and offline dedup.
In that case, the extra "e" seems somewhat useful.
With "e", it's intended for offline use. Without "e", it's intended for
online use.
Such difference is very subtle and I think we should stick to just one
spelling, which shall be 'dedupe'.
OK, I'll change them to 'dedupe' in next bug fix version.
Thanks,
Qu
