Hi All,
I am facing a problem where link count is not getting properly updated in the debugfs. I am using e2fsprogs.
[root@N5105INCS9BV1S debugfs]# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/ram0
mke2fs 1.40.10 (21-May-2008)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=1024 (log=0)
Fragment size=1024 (log=0)
4096 inodes, 16384 blocks
819 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=1
Maximum filesystem blocks=16777216
2 block groups
8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group
2048 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
8193
Writing inode tables: done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 30 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

Why the link count is always showing 1 eventhough I have created 2 links to the file? Am I doing some mistake?
Thanks and Regards,
