duperemove is cpu intensive when it does run
K
Kyle Gospo
•
4/2/24, 12:01 AM
it also runs with the lowest possible nice value
, meaning literally anything else will execute before it

you can turn the service off if you don
't want it
, note that your drive usage will go up with time

taking a guess that the more storage you have on btrfs drives
