March 16, 20251 yr Community Expert I realized that I have a fair bit of files that exist on two disks, but show up only as one one file on the usershare. Dupeguru does not cover this usecase, so I am looking for help how to fix this. Let me describe the four issues I am facing: Issue #1 /disk1/movies/movie1/movie1.mkv /disk2/movies/movie1/movie1.mkv [100% identical] Issue #2 /disk1/movies/movie1/movie1.mkv /disk2/movies/movie1/post.jpg [metadata for movie1 ended up on disk2] Issue #3 /disk1/movies/movie1/movie1.mkv /disk2/movies/movie1/ [empty folder] Issue #4 /disk1/movies/movie1/movie1.mkv /disk2/movies/movie1/movie1.mkv [0kb file] Thanks for any thoughts and pointers.

I recommend not sharing disks except perhaps temporarily. You can lose data if you try to mix disks and user shares while moving or copying.
March 16, 20251 yr Author Community Expert Thanks. The first link doesn't address my issue? Aware of the issues with diskshares and this is what probably led to my duplicates above (and the corrupt 0kb files). I just need to clean it up and then disable the diskshares. Dupeguru may be the way to try it out?

March 16, 20251 yr Author Community Expert Yup, I will do so going forward and just fully move to usershares, which should address this. However, I still need to fix the "mess" that I have right now. In terms of duplicates, empty folders, splits, etc. Wondering whether dupeguru, unballanced, or something else will be what can help me remove the duplicates.
