If you delete, rename, or move the target, the link is untouched. I'm
not sure if this is a universally accepted term, but I call it a "stale
link".
Is there any such thing as a link whose link will follow the target?

I am not aware of such. Do they do that in other OS's?

Of course, if the target and link are (files only, not dirs) on the same
filesystem, you can just use a hardlink. Maybe that's more like what you
 want?

I don't know.  What is the difference between a hard link and a soft one?

I am considering using Sorbothane sheet padding to protect the HD. Now supposedly Sorbothane can absorb up 95% of a shock. But I am not sure how effective this will be.?

Is the goal to protect the HD while it's in a gear bag being taken somewhere, or will it be running on/in a paint shaker?
