Hello, I have a situation where I have numerous files with numerous hard links to each of them on an ext3 RHEL4.2 system. Some of these files are duplicates of the others. I would like to re-link all of the duplicates to point to a single inode. For instance if file1 has hardlinks link1 and link2, and file2 has hardlinks link3 and link4, I need to change it so that link1, link2 (these two are already correct), file2, link3, and link4 are all hardinks to file1. The only information I have to start with are the inode numbers of file1 and file2 and the pathnames of file1 and file2. Any ideas beyond searching all of the filenames on the system and replacing them with the proper link? That takes a long time. thanks, Dan _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
