Duperemove continuing infinitely after getting stuck on a file
I've encountered an issue where duperemove will run into "invalid argument" on a certain file and just continue running and using a bunch of cpu+battery life forever unless I turn it off. I left it for about an hour yesterday with
watch -n 0.5 systemctl status btrfs-dedup@var-home.service and it never moved past the files it was stuck on. When I restart the service it'll scan a few files then run into the problem again.

Thanks. That's interesting as it occurred when run as a systemd service
which I think is as root
Update on this, it's moved on to another file but taking just as long with this next one, except with the status:
had status (1) "data changed".It's probably just taking a really long time hashing the files, esp if the file is 4+GB in size
