>From what I understand, it's actually something resembling more hard
links accross filesystems and network, but ones created automatically
when files are identical in content, and with copy-on-write. Pretty
cool actually when you think about it... A Slashdot reader expressed
the concern that it might sabotage backups ("Uh-oh, my file is
gone... Not to worry, I have a backup... OH NO! It was only a link!")
but MS would have to be incredibly stupid not to allow some sort of
manual override. Anyone using W2K who could comment?
If such a feature is to be created in Linux, I suspect it would
require changes to Ext2 itself (not only its code)... What do you
think?
