yes, but i'm not quite sure whether it is okay to hard-link all files. or i should link the executable files only. pls kindly advise, thanks! Ah, I see. Well, you probably want your /etc files to be manageable on a per vserver basis, so that'd be bad to link. Also, /var/log/* and probably some or all of /var/lib should not be linked. I think /usr is an excellent candidate for linking. There are others on this list that have already tackled this issue so it shouldn't be hard to get a conclusive answer. Additionally, the linuxconf vserver tools can automate this work, so it should be possible to simply look at that code to see what is and isn't linked. This would probably be a good reference item for the wiki. If/when we get a solid answer, we should probably post it there.
