Hello,
when I call "git clone ~adglth0/work/scripts whatever" as user
everything works as expected. As soon as I call this command as root it
shreds ufs:

A few notes and observations I did. Linux _does_ not allow userland to
create hardlinks for directories which makes totally sense. Solaris does
allow the _root_ user to allow hardlinks for directories. There is even
a command that makes that possible:
(faui04a) [/var/tmp] mkdir test
(faui04a) [/var/tmp] /usr/xpg4/bin/link test bla
(faui04a) [/var/tmp] ls -ali
total 13
1639 drwxrwxrwt 4 root sys 9216 Jul 16 11:13 ./

238939 drwx--x--x 3 snalwuer icipguru 512 Jul 5 19:08 1071895580/

238945 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 512 Jul 16 11:11 test/
(faui04a) [/var/tmp] find . -inum 238945
Whatever. My first impression was that the filesystem of the solaris is
broken. So I fscked it. And guess what it corrected the error. But after
the reboot I tried it again and you see the result above. So my guess is
that git calls the link system call in a way Solaris thinks it should
itself shoot in the head. This also happens with _remote_ clones as
root:

So has anyone a idea what is wrong. I have shareded a second machine in
a complete different domain. With a complete different git version. Same
thing. So it is not the hardware and not the specific git version and
not the Solaris version:
