Mmmm... The "/usr" directory is a typical one to have on a separate partition, and in that case there can't be hardlinks from outside. If some programs requires hardlinks, it is a bug.
Probably not, I do remember that the directories concerned were originally on the same partition, ln by default creates hardlinks. Shuffling key system directories around different partitions is not really a normal activity and one cannot really expect those who setup configurations to take account every slightly loopy activity of the user community ;-)
It is certainly not loopy as it is talked about as some times recomended in the admin book written by SuSE. I myself have part of /usr on a different partition in this system, and entirely out on another older system, without any problems for years. There are some directories that have to remain in the same partition as /, but /usr is not one of them. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
