--- Comment #6 from Vladimir Nadvornik
What about always using symlinks instead of hardlinks? This would solve the problem.
Not completely. Neither a symlink from a configuration file in /etc to a configuration example in /usr nor the other way around does not make really sense.
I don't think this solves the problem - don't even try to assume that two directories are on the same partiton.
IMHO fdupes makes sense on read-only files, i. e. on /usr. I can't think of any reason why /usr should not be on single partition. Linking files in /var, which are empty at the beginning and are supposed to grow over time is a bug. Thus I would skip directories like /etc and /var completely. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
