additional context for hard links (in case any newbies are listening):
you can list them with the -i option to show inodes
- - -
ls -i /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 \
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 \
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
2057717 /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
2057717 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
2057717 /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0
or you can stat them and pick out the inodes
- - -
stat /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 \
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 \
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 | grep Inode
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 2057717 Links: 3
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 2057717 Links: 3
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 2057717 Links: 3
If you didn't know they were there, or forgot the names, you can find them by:
$ cd /etc
$ sudo find . -type f -links +1 -print | xargs ls -li | sort -n
Find files with more than 1 link, list with inode number, and sort to
bring like items together
Use "sudo" to avoid messages from trying to look in places where mere
mortals can't go.
