Ivan,
Evidently that was introduced in 6.2-RELEASE:
The cp(1) utility now supports a -l option, which causes it to create
hardlinks to the source files instead of copying them.
Thanks for posting and subsequently drawing my attention to it.
Time to upgrade I suppose :)

Hello,
We are about to buy 1U rack mount server for the office. The server room
is small and close to meeting room so we have two priorities:
1)Good FreeBSD support.
2) Low noise level (!)
Speed is not a priority, system load will be small.
Which one will you recommend ?

I was wondering if anyone has successfully setup an internal freebsd-update
