[snip...] the source and target files are on the same filesystem. My (simple) question is: What is "hard links"? never really heard of it and googles no help either. Am I missing something? A link is called hard link when its system-file-identifier (SFID) is added to the current directory entry. The opposite is called soft link or symbolic link, when only the path name is added to the direcotry entry.Best Bao
