The only ways to delete all hardlinks that point to an inode (at least, all the ways I know of) are to either use something like: "ls -li" to find the inode and "find -inum $inode | xargs rm" to remove it or the simpler Code:
find -samefile $file | xargs rm Quote:

Humm. I guess that means something is running to backup the file that "was" a link until I change it. So if the backup program crashes or is stopped and I change a file then it is gone right? |

There is one file or set of files, the main ones. In a second location, a standard file copy creates a backup. In a third location, a second standard copy is created, but linked to the second location (first copy). Editing the backup (second or third location) will mess up the other backups regardless of when or why or how. Editing the main files (first location) will never under any circumstances affect the backup (second or third location). What it will do, is make any future backups use the new data, and create intra-backup hardlinks only for the identical files. Hardlinks are a confusing and arcane subject . Perhaps this can clarify them for you? http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/r...s/#Incremental Why editing the backups is bad, and how to avoid it. http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/r...hots/#ReadOnly |

Do you use a custom column for this like the manual shows? Is it preferable? Perhaps even necessary?
