If you have symbolic reference, you have to be ready that destination is
gone, moved, or goes offline. Otherwise use hardlinks. You also could
create a defensive layer of symlinks just for indirection.
Nothing could be done in the distributed case anyway, because destination
could change while
on the destination of the
link (not true in the case of readonly remote file systems and DVDs).
3) Also, why the server file system should absorb additional cost for the
each client? Is not it a hole to DoS it?
