Actually I believe that root is allowed to create arbitrary
hard links to directories in Unix, so it's possible to turn
the file system in to a general graph. It's highly
unrecommended, though, because it confuses the heck out of
programs that recursively traverse directories (which is
why only root is allowed to do it).
i think there are versions of mac osx that use hard-linked directories
in their backup systems.
