This might not work at all if directories are on different + filesystems (which can happen anytime as the system administrator sees fit), + certain filesystems such as AFS don't even support cross-directory hardlinks + at all. + . + For configuration files, certain editors might break hardlinks, and so + does dpkg in certain cases. + . + A better solution might be using symlinks here. +See-Also: debian-policy 10.7.3 |
