Re: "git clone" executed as root on solaris 10 shreds UFS (it is possible to create hardlinks for directories as root under solaris)

Hello David,
Hm? The hard link counter is "broken" by creating or not creating subdirectories, since their ".." is a hard link.
exactly. The question is: Is it a Solaris bug or is it something that is
supposed a user is able to do (it doesn't make sense for me)? I posted
this problem to comp.unix.solaris and also contacted the UFS Maintainer
of Solaris (it is not the first UFS bug I original found). If I don't
receive feedback, I am going to open a call with Sun. Whatever is going
on (hopefully it isn't PEBKAC - but I don't think so) and this time it
isn't broken hardware either (like the last time I reported a serious
git bug) because it happens on two machines.
