The only thing I would add is that creating a hard link does require an entry in a directory somewhere. If that requires adding a block to the directory entry, that will happen. So hard links are not entirely free. TANSTAAFL: There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Link. But I doubt that this explains all of Keith Bainbridge <keithrbau@gmail.com>'s problem. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
