Symlinks wont fit here, as the userland sees them as links (and treats them as such). What you're looking for is some solution that does the cow stuff hidden from the normal userland. Perhaps via unionfs or something fuse-based. BUT: I'd first raise the question if your tree needs to be that big at all. Perhaps it should be splitted into several smaller ones. What actually does your tree make that big ? cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@xxxxxxxx mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
