The intermediate media was another larger hard drive with sufficient space. I
reserve that space specifically for backups.
Uhhhhh...Further back in this thread there was discussion about hard links and
symlinks. How does one identify hard links and differentiate them from
symlinks. I remember seeing them displayed as little arrows when using ls -l
Can you see them in MC?
You guys are something else. you can't imagine the wealth of knowledge I have
learned here. (Too bad I can't remember it all !) It's great when a thread
like this turns into a long discussion. Thanks to all of you for being here
and spreading your knowledge.
