Public bug reported:

I'm using rsync --link-dest to maintain multiple snapshots of a
filesystem, with unchanged files hard-linked between snapshots.  The
snapshots are stored on an hfsplus filesystem (HFS+ non-journaled, case-
sensitive), created using MacOSX tools).  The output of both ls and du
indicates that unchanged files are not being hard-linked.  But unchanged
files in the different snapshots have the same inode number and the
output of df is consistent with there being a lot of hard-links.  I have
not seen this discrepancy for snapshots stored on an ext3 filesystem.
Is this a quirk of the kernel hfsplus driver?
