Replace FSlint with Kleansweep

Replace FSlint with Kleansweep

Postby 2hot6ft2 » Wed Apr 07, 2010 8:40 pm

I did some searching to find out which duplicate file finder was better and came to the conclusion that Kleansweep is a better choice from what I have read. Frankly after all that reading I wasn't going to even try running FSlint (it sounded a little unstable). I installed Kleansweep and uninstalled FSlint and ran it over 11 of my hard drives and it performed beautifully. They were long overdue for a good cleaning. :lol:

So my suggestion is to replace FSlint with Kleansweep. There ya have it, my 2 cents worth. <BREW>

Synaptics info for each for quick reference

KleanSweep allows you to reclaim disk space by finding unneeded files.
It can search for files basing on several criterias; you can seek for:
- empty files
- empty directories
- backup files
- broken symbolic links
- broken executables (executables with missing libraries)
- dead menu entries (.desktop files pointing to non-existing executables)
- duplicated files
- orphaned files -- files not found in RPM (for rpm-based distros, e.g.
Fedora Core, Suse) or DPKG (for dpkg based distros, e.g. Debian and Ubuntu)
database
- obsolete thumbnails (thumbnails conforming to freedesktop.org standard,
pointing to non-existing images)

FSlint is a toolkit to clean filesystem lint. It includes a GTK+ GUI
as well as a command line interface and can be used to reclaim disk space.
It has an interface for uninstalling packages, and it can find things like:

- Duplicate files
- Problematic filenames
- Temporary files
- Bad symlinks
- Empty directories
- Nonstripped binaries

Didn't I just post a thanks to you on ubuntuforums ;) I have never used KleanSweep, so I can not give you an answer, yet. One of the finer points of fslint is MP3 dupes it does awesome at finding them file name can be totally different and if will still dupe it out CRC / MD5SUM are beautiful tools fslint is just a fontend to them.

I will try it, however I can not guarantee to "replace" fslint perhaps add KleanSweep. Thank you for bringing the tool to my attention.

TheeMahn,

No need to apologize for the downtime. Things happen.

I have never trusted a duplicate file finder with MP3's, I have always used a media player organizer for that (media monkey in windows, did I say that?). I must have missed that info. when I was comparing the options. Sorry for taking so long to get back to this thread. I really wasn't expecting an answer to it.

I thought this was more like a suggestion drop box where you drop in suggestions for consideration and that was it.
I'll have to give fslint a shot sometime since I trust your judgment and if you like it there must be a reason. ;)

You're welcome for the input, if I come across something else that may have been overlooked I'll let you know.
