"ls -il" gives you the inode-numbers, so you'll see, which files are
hard-linked.
if you need to search the whole disk, then you want to use "find -inum".

there is no other way of finding the files aside from scanning the whole
file system, because the inodes have no back references to the directories
they are linked from.
