Let's say file A1 and A2 are symbolic links to file R. Is there a way to tell which files are linked to R by examing file R only (stat doesn't seem to reveal anything, but I noticed hard link will increase the Links number), instead of searching through all the files in the FS? Especially if the FS containing A2 is not mounted yet.
Or symbolic link is a one-way knowledge that only A2 knows about it but R has no clue at all?
One-way. Creating backwards references would be difficult and ugly, especially when using filesystems from other machines, as in NFS.
