So it creates "hard links" that "A hard link to a file is
indistinguishable from the original directory entry".
OKKK. Thanks.
I imagine that when I do $ df -h it gives me the space used by the real
files, not their ghost "hard link" copies.
So I ran out of space for another reasons.
I have placed in extremis most distfiles and the whole cvs xenocara (not
yet built) folder to /var, to leave temporary space and to try to end my
kde update.
Everyday learning lot of things.
It seems to me that konqueror file browser nor tools as kdirstats are
able to detect the difference and considers them as two different files.
That's not good. Asking konqueror for properties of each file, it gives
you size and etc, not a word about "hard link", I will check with the
kde developers.
Thanks Antoine Jacoutot.
Mac.

Besides this, as I mentioned also in my previous thread, instead of linking
the newly created packages from /usr/ports/packages/i386/all/ to
/usr/ports/packages/i386/ftp/ and to /usr/ports/packages/i386/cdrom/ , as the
stdout says above, it creates copies of the file in each folder.
No it does not, it creates hard links.
Please read the documentation.
i.e. ln(1)
