Interesting, but not *quite* what I get:
% echo "test" > foo
% /sw/bin/ln foo foo-hl
% /sw/bin/ln -s foo foo-sl
% /sw/bin/ls -s -1 foo*
4 foo
4 foo-hl
0 foo-sl
% /bin/ls -s -1 foo*
8 foo
8 foo-hl
8 foo-sl
%
So the built in /bin/ls sees no block-size difference, while /sw/bin/ls
reports equal size for the hard links & zero for the symlink. (Repeating
these steps with /bin/ln instead of /sw/bin/ln made no difference, so I
haven't included those results here.)
Are you really getting zero size files for hard links?
