I just discovered the `-l' option of `du' as available in GNU Coreutils,
so I wanted to share my experience. ;-) Here's what I observe on my
revlib:
$ du -msl /home/ludo/\{arch-revlib\}/
1063 /home/ludo/{arch-revlib}/
$ du -ms /home/ludo/\{arch-revlib\}/
228 /home/ludo/{arch-revlib}/
IOW, the use of hard links yields a compression ratio of 4 (!).
Thanks,
Ludovic.
