To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 26 Jun 1995 21:55:31 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 638 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Okay, I know that you aren't supposed to be able to create a hard link to a directory. In the ln(1) man page, however, it states that "Hard links may not normally refer to directories and may not span filesystems." Does that mean there is some way to create hard links to directories in a 'non-normal' way? If so, are there consequences?
