Look at my WOFS from 1990... It uses 'gnodes' that include the filename in one single meta data chunk for a file. Hard links are implemented as inode number related soft links (while symlinks are name related soft links).

If ZFS did use my concept, you don't have the problems you have with FAT.

Yes, but WOFS is a write-once filesystem. ZFS is read-write. What happens if you delete the file referenced by the inode-softlinks?

Wout.
