Well that seems like a workaround, IMHO not like a real solution,... since when you remove <filename> the file will stay due to /path/to/database/<SHA512 identifier>.<inode number> . Of course you can run regular scrubbing jobs, which remove and /path/to/database/<SHA512 identifier>.<inode number> for which the link count is one. Anyway as said, IMHO it's a (nice) workaround which I haven't thought of, admittedly, but not a clean solution... and AFAICS it fixes only my personal use case. Cheers, Chris.
