Hi everyone,

When I tried to hardlink a directory today I ran into this,

$ ln muse test
ln: `muse': hard link not allowed for directory

So I did a little searching and found its not exactly a forbidden. So 
far the closest to an understandable explanation/reasoning I came across 
was a discussion in lwn[1]. So my question is how are hardlinks so 
different from softlinks?
