I'm much surprised why hardlink shouldn't work. I used the `stat' command on a file that's both in snapshot and (uchanged) in current filesystem state and both inode and device fields (st_ino and st_dev) are the same. Thus I don't get why Linux would consider that a cross-device hardlink. After all, it's the same filesystem, just different views of it. Perhaps Linux' VFS is to blame... -- dexen deVries ``One can't proceed from the informal to the formal by formal means.'' -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nilfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
