An excellent writeup. The only thing I would add is that creating a
hard link does require an entry in a directory somewhere. If that
requires adding a block to the directory entry, that will happen. So
hard links are not entirely free. TANSTAAFL: There Ain't No Such Thing
As A Free Link.
But I doubt that this explains all of Keith Bainbridge
<keithrbau@gmail.com>'s problem.
