Am I the only person here who immediately associated "link" with the POSIX? Also, am I the only one who read "when possible" as "when on a POSIX system where link is available", in other words, "when not on Windows"? One starts to wonder...
NTFS does support hard links since version 5, which means Windows 2000+. It does not support hard links to directories though, only soft links (which are called junctions or junction points). The version of NTFS shipped with Vista supports hard links for directories I believe.
POSIX systems don't allow hard links to directories, either, in practice:: $ man ln ... -d, -F, --directory allow the superuser to attempt to hard link directories (note: will probably fail due to system restrictions, even for the superuser) Tres. - -- =================================================================== Tres Seaver +1 540-429-0999 tseaver@palladion.com Palladion Software "Excellence by Design" http://palladion.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF76hn+gerLs4ltQ4RArm3AJ9o6Vw63qc6cJT3GPJOVebCFhDtiACfViDa EI1MxpxIIwEQl3uXVxly7M4= =NZUy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
