hard links in the ftp archive?

[miquels@traveler.cistron-office.nl (Miquel van Smoorenburg)]

While using rsync to update our local mirror:

link pool/main/x/xfree86v3/xfree86v3_3.3.6.orig.tar.gz => dists/potato/main/source/x11/xfree86-1_3.3.6.orig.tar.gz : Invalid cross-device link

Can't this be made a symlink? The Debian mirror is so big, I had to
spread it over multiple disks ..
