cramfs takes a shortcut with device nodes, and assigns them all inode 1.
I presume it also assigns nlinks == 1?
When using cpio to copy files out of a cramfs image, cpio turns the second and all subsequent copied device nodes into hard links to the first copied out device node, based on them all having the same st_dev and st_ino.
Another possible solution: When checking for hard links during copy-out, do not generate hardlink entries if nlinks < 2. Tim
