I thought that HFS+ did not support links; looking at the source, it appears that hardlinks *are* supported and that brings all the deadlocks into the game, same as we had in reiser4 case. Which is to say, this stuff *must* go. In case of HFS it's obnoxious, but not immediately letal. In case of HFS+ it's an instant DoS. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
