Description

uu-du reports little to no disk usage for hard links, but double (triple or more) counts disk used by reflinks. Would be nice if reflinks were counted only once.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how `uu du` currently detects and counts reflinks; implement deduplication to count each reflink only once.
