I have a pair of disks, D1 and D2.
I want to determine if all files in D2 have a corresponding copy somewhere in D1.
D1 contains approximately 4000 times as many files as D2.
fdupes -r D1 D2
searches for all duplicates anywhere within D1 or D2, which requires doing a tremendous amount of computation across all the files in D1.
Is there a way to direct fdupes to only search for duplicates of files in D2 that exist in D1?
