-todo
+melamine is not yet ready for production use. If you'd like to try it, generate dummy files below. Preferably, do this on a separate mount point than any essential files or in a virtual machine.
+
+Currently, only inode discovery and the beginnings of ext2/3 and zfs support exist.
+
+```bash
+rm -rf /tmp/melamine && mkdir -p /tmp/melamine;
+rm -rf /tmp/melamine_hardlinks && mkdir -p /tmp/melamine_hardlinks;
+for i in $(seq 1 4); do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/melamine/test_$i bs=1 count=$(( RANDOM % 256 * 256 )); done;
+ln /tmp/melamine/test_1 /tmp/melamine_hardlinks/hardlink_1;
+ln /tmp/melamine/test_2 /tmp/melamine_hardlinks/hardlink_2;
+```
+
+You can then confirm that the two hardlink inodes match using `ls -li`.
+
+```bash
+ls -li /tmp/melamine/test_*;
+ls -li /tmp/melamine_hardlinks/hardlink_*;
+```
