Yeah, ok, can you create an account on my souce tracker and create an
issue for this please?
https://gitlab.wellbehavedsoftware.com/well-behaved-software/btrfs-dedupe
I am fairly sure I can fix this without too much difficulty. ;-)

I've tried your binaries, which also seem to work fine on Debian
Stretch. (At least using the latest ubuntu xenial binary).
I've only run into one little issue, btrfs-dedupe will abort with
"Serialization error: invalid value: Path contains invalid UTF-8
characters at line 0 column 0" if I run it on some large top level
directories. Unfortunately it doesn't list which directory it has a
problem with. Wouldn't it be better if btrfs-dedupe simply ignores
directories it has a problem with, and continues with the rest?

Did you try the binaries? I can build binaries for other platforms if
you let me know what you are interested in.
In any case, you'll need to install rust:
https://www.rust-lang.org/install.html
Which will tell you to do this on Linux, and presumably all unix
platforms:
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
You can either log in and out or reload your profile to get the
installed software in your PATH:
source ~/.profile
Then you can checkout btrfs-dedupe, eg from my gitlab public https,
I'll assume you have git installed:
git clone
https://gitlab.wellbehavedsoftware.com/well-behaved-software/btrfs-dedupe.git
Then cd in and build using cargo:
cd btrfs-dedupe
cargo build --release
There is basically just one binary which will end up in
target/release/btrfs-dedupe.
I'll add these instructions to the README later.

Hi, could you include some build instructions for people that are
unfamiliar with compiling rust code?

Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to announce a new version of my btrfs-dedupe tool, written
in rust, available here:
http://btrfs-dedupe.com/
Binary packages built on ubuntu (probably will work elsewhere, but
haven't tried this), are available at:
https://dist.wellbehavedsoftware.com/btrfs-dedupe/
This version is considered ready for production use. It maintains a
compressed database of the filesystem state, and it tracks file
metadata, hashes file contents, and the extent-map contents, in order
to work out what needs to be deduplicated.
This is a whole-file deduplication tool, similar to bedup, but since
it is written in Rust, and designed to work with the dedupe ioctl, I
think it's more suitable for production use.
As normal for open source, this comes without any warranty etc, but
the only updates are performed via the defragment and deduplication
ioctls, and so assuming they work correctly then this should not cause
any corruption.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions/problems.
