There was a thread on Darwin Dev about directory hard links awhile ago. An apple employee jumped in to say that: "You're not supposed to notice that directory hard links are now allowed (for Time Machine's exclusive use) so it's neither an error in the documentation or an error in the function. The error is that you're being too nosy. :-)" Indeed, the man pages for ln and link(2) say it's not allowed. So whatever route you go to solve this problem, don't hard link directories. Beyond the normal problems with such things, I'd be very suspicious that they copy/archive properly in all situations (which would negate your space savings). Either try what Sherm Pendley suggests, or maybe just use relative symbolic links. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
