I was noticing that the files in the repository are not setup very well for hardlinking. This is because identical files do not have the exact same date/time stamps. For example: 13109840 Feb 21 09:29 7.2/updates/i386/kernel-2.4.20-30.7.legacy.i686.rpm 13109840 Feb 21 00:07 7.3/updates/i386/kernel-2.4.20-30.7.legacy.i686.rpm These two files are identical but they have different time stamps. The hardlink utility will only hardlink two files if they have the same date/time stamp, size, and are identical. Hardlink tool: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/mirror-tools/ This can be a big savings in hard disk space. Is there any possibility of getting the files which are identical to have the same date/time stamps on the repository? Thanks, John
