Terminology
| Softlinking | Simplest Configuration |
Whenyou soflink a file you can have your source physical file anywhere you like and put your link file anywhere you like... it's by far the most commonform of linking..... one downside is if you delete a physical file, it will leave all your links as they are to manually manage |
| Hardlink | Has pre-requisites | Hard links are almost the same as softliks, except you can think of them as kinda of "monitored" - so if you delete a physical, the links go... however they have one caveat you may not have considered when partitioning your drives.... they must all reside withinthe same filesystem |
