If you mean local NFS mount, then yes. If you mean between two NFS mounts on the save local host, then no. Hard links cannot traverse file-systems. And your remote host [the NFS server] has to support and allow hard-links. Which is probably true, but not necessarily true. -- Adam Tauno Williams System Administrator, OpenGroupware Developer, LPI Fingerprint 8C08 209A FBE3 C41A DD2F A270 2D17 8FA4 D95E D383 _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
