I have a noob question. I have Ubuntu running on my Sony Vaio and I'm happy to
report all is well ...mostly. I'm trying to create a hard link in my home
directory to my removable media card. I tried the following command (see
below) but it says hard links are not allowed even as roo
You cannot make hard links across partitions/devices. You would have
to make a symbolic link instead (ln -s src dest).
$ touch file1
$ ln file1 file1-hard
$ ln -s file1 file1-soft
$ stat file1*
File: `file1'
Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty
file

In addition to what others have said, you can't make a hard link to
a directory. There are good, technical reasons for this, but they
boil down to "making a hard link to a dir will screw up your
filesystem."[0] In fact, hard
