Hai,
- How can i create hard link for my directories ?
- When i use to make link from /var to /home it shows error on "Invalid cross-device link", How can i over come it ?
Hai,
You can only make symbolic links to directories.
From man 7 symlink
:
Hard links may not refer to directories (to pre‐ vent the possibility of loops within the file system tree, which would confuse many programs) and may not refer to files on different file systems (because i-node numbers are not unique across file systems).
To make backups, use rsync
, dd
or cpio
(sometimes together with tar
, bzip2
, gzip
or zip
).
