The link number may not be 1 even if a hardlink is broken. I think it may be wise to get rid of internal hardlinks at some time, and generate full indexes to detect file removal (the original purpose of our hardlinks). There will be a performance penality on platforms not using GNU find, which is powerful enough to do a complete scan in one pass, thanks to -cnewer support and -printf formats. -- Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dim@ml.free.fr/ To unsubscribe: mailto:dim-requ...@ml.free.fr?subject=unsubscribe
