Thanks for the report. Is this on Windows? I'll have to make this check conditional...

[Boscop]

Yes, on Windows. Btw, maybe you can use this: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.Path.html#method.symlink_metadata path.symlink_metadata()?.file_type().is_symlink() and get the target with path.canonicalize().

[birkenfeld]

Well, the point here is to avoid counting two or more hardlinked files as duplicates.

On Windows hardlinks, while possible, are pretty uncommon, so I don't think it'll matter to leave out this check there.

[Boscop]

But maybe it's still useful for Windows soft symlinks?

[birkenfeld]

walkdir is already supposed to ignore symlinks with follow_links(false).
