Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
sorry, this question is not Gentoo specific - but I know there are many |
4 |
very knowledgeable people on this list. |

|
6 |
I'd like to "hard-link" a file X to Y - i.e. there is no additional |
7 |
space on disk for Y. |
8 |
|
9 |
But, contrary to the "standard" hard-link (ln), file Y should be stored |
10 |
in a different place (inode) IF it gets modified. |
11 |
With the standard hard-link, file X is the same as Y, so any changes to |
12 |
Y are seen in X by definition. |
13 |
|
14 |
Is this possible |
15 |
- with an ext4 FS |
16 |
- or only with a different (which) FS |
17 |
|
18 |
Many thanks for a hint, |
