The main reasoning for deprecation (and banning) of dohard() was that bug as far as I understood, and it is fixed now. =EF=BB=BFHowever due to technical restriction intrinsic to hard links, we s= hould rephrase what it does - to emphasize that it tries to do a hard link, but if that is not technically possible, it will be a copy. That is, there is no guarantee but a best effort. =EF=BB=BFIt can be useful when it works. If it ends up in a separate partit= ion, there is nothing we can do. But the common case is that the hard link destination is in the same directory as the source, and that pretty much means the same partition as well. --=20 Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: leio@gentoo.org Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio --=-cLNZ8a+9ITDKGhvQwaDz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkndWXgACgkQkeYb6olFHJcq4QCeLoETxXvEr8BxhrkOB4ewqOGc hJUAnjFBNiLa8geNXi73UCZanh5Bi7yz =ulcY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-cLNZ8a+9ITDKGhvQwaDz--
