And the faulty assumption is? The OP was asking about linking to an existing directory and wanted to know the difference between symbolic and hard links. My original statement about avoiding hard links was made in that context. Being pedantic about the fact that all filesystem entries have a least one hard link is ignoring the context of the discussion and why it might be preferable to use symlinks vs. hard links to existing filesystem entries. If you want to address the merits of such arguments, fine. But I don't see any benefit in pursuing this tangent any further. -- Eric G.
