hard link things
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-fileutils/2002-02/msg00033.html
Although "ln --help" tells you that you can creat hard links to a directory as root, things do not work like that. The truth is that it really depends on the underlying file system. Few systems now allow that since it complicates fsck and may incure loops.

For anyone who is interested, on a Linux system with an ext2 file system
you can achieve the same thing as a hard link to a directory with a
"mount --bind".
