Hi, May someone help me to understand how exactly hard links works ? To some extend U understood that a hard link is indistinguishable from the "original" yet it must be so that the datas are linked-back to all the hard links pointing on it, correct ? This means that it is safe to a) create file.original b) create a hard link to file.original called file.hardlink c) destroy file.original The datas remains. Whereas if we would do only a) then c), the datas would be destroyed.
Is this correct ? Something to change or add ? Tx a lot, JF
