Whereas the softlink search you showed won't return the original file the following search will return the hardlinks _and_ the original file: find -type f -links +1 Unfortunately this won't group hardlinks associated with each file together, for that you need something like: find -xdev -type f -links +1 -printf '%i %p\n' | sort -n Which prepends the inode (unique file number) in front of each hardlink so that they can be properly grouped by the sort command. The -xdev option is needed so that only one filesystem is scanned because inode numbers are not necessarily unique across filesystems. To combine the hard & soft link search into one: find -type l -o -type f -links +1 Cheers, Sean -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
