This makes backing up hardlinks accurate, compared to V3, and provides for consistent inode numbering across backups." As there's a comparison w/ v3, it is of course targeting v4. This is why I ask, 'cos it collides with what you said. Sooo, I don't know what to think 'cos moving a regular hardlink isn't a problem as the FS is taking care of inode(s) swapping, but IF v4 is doing it's own not-hardlinking-but-much-like-it, moving a file whose inode's reference is contained in another one would break this system (?)
