Well, the idea was
<root> <laterst_backup>
<backup-1>
<backup-2>
but you're right, it might turn out too tricky to be useful... So I
withdraw:-)
As for earlier comment about i-node numbers. Solaris isofs i-nodes
apparently have no association with file contents either, just like
Linux. I can't see that hard-link count has any practical meaning in
isofs context so that one can as well not care about adjusting it.
Cheers. A.
