Once upon a time, Jeremy Katz <katzj@xxxxxxxxxx> said: > It does it so that you ensure that you're only hardlinking the same copy > of any foo.h in the directory layout instead of all copies Why? hardlink isn't going to replace files that are different, so there is no gain in not letting hardlink link all copies that are the same. It is smart enough to look at the stat() info before reading the contents for comparison, so files of different sizes aren't going to be compared just because they have the same name. The whole point of running hardlink is to reduce disk usage; why not let it try to do the best job possible? -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
