I have the same hardlinks and I never did this myself. Conclusion must
be that the system does it for you.

My problem is my root partition still mounts as ext2 even though fstab says
ext3. I converted it from ext2. My guess is that /etc/fstab was incorrectly
set when I compiled my kernel and mkinitrd ran?
