I suspect that, technically, it would be possible to add link(), but I guess that the conflation of stand-alone drive/logical spanning makes it a little complex. I will try starting a discussion on this topic over on the 'other' forum.
One directory's all files are probably in one filesystem, so link() within a single directory should be simple to implement I think? That's all Dovecot needs.
Yes, sure. I think that it might be a little more complicated to find a generalised solution which will meet all requirements for the implementation of link().
When I have a little spare time I may try grepping the Dovecot code.
there are link() and nfs_safe_link() calls.
Thanks for that info!
