Does anyone know of a duplicate file finder that can keep its database of seen files in an on-disk database instead of RAM? When looking for duplicates in a tree of hundreds of millions of files this can otherwise require quite a lot of RAM. Perhaps it can be worked around using lots of swap, but I would have thought this could lead to other processes getting swapped out, when generally I would rather that the duplicate finder just got slower itself.
