the source and target files are on the same filesystem.

My (simple) question is:
What is "hard links"? never really heard of it and googles no help either.
Am I missing something?


A link is called hard link when its system-file-identifier (SFID) is added to the current directory entry. The opposite is called soft link or symbolic link, when only the path name is added to the direcotry entry.
