Having a working -L option would be awesome! I think that the above algorithm would cause a lot of I/O if the files to link are big (order of GBs). Maybe we can check if the files are on 2 different FSes and not trying to hardlink them? I know it can cause a race condition, but probably better than copying gigs around Cheers, -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
