Dear All, Is there a way of switching on permission to have hard links to directories?
Is there a rationale for disallowing this? What I'm trying to do is to set up my file system so that, rather as with apt-get, files and entire directories survive only as long as they are wanted. Wanted can be cheaply and easily implemented as a hard link for files, but my attempts to make hard directory links throw up a message saying that this isn't allowed. Is the no hard links to directories policy a function of the file system or of the OS? At the moment I'm using Reiserfs - not sure which version as the installer didn't say but I'd guess v3. I am under the impression that v1&2 were experimental only and that 4 hasn't been out long. Please don't quote me on that and do correct me if I'm wrong! Thanks all. -- Max -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
