Is it important to keep the hard links in Linux?
I just noticed that when I moved to a new hard disk, i lost them.
I did a dump/restore, I think. Should have just "cp -a".
Is there any consequence, apart from a little extra disk usage?
I see that "rsync -a" doesn't preserve hard links for some reason. Needs
-H. Gnu "cp" does do, not that you'd know it from the man page.
