6/12    ANyone know if FreeBSD uses an inode per symbolic link?  --PeterM
        \_ Use the source luke, or build a freebsd system and try it yourself.
           \_ which is much more efficient than asking someone who might know.
                Asshole.
        \_ I answered your question on wall already peterm (which is where
           you asked it originally). --jon
           \_ Missed your wall, jon.  Doh.  Thanks though. --PeterM
        \_ yes.  pretty sure all operating systems do.  -dpetrou
        \_ a symlink is a file. files use inodes.
            \_ Reiserfs can store very small files (like symlinks) without
               using an inode.  I wasn't sure FreeBSD didn't do that.  --PeterM
                \_ peterm sounds like a typical super bright wanna-be-tech
                   non-tech major
                        \_ gee I didn't know plasma simulations programming
                           was a non-tech "major".
                   \_ Yeah.  Maybe someday he'll wise up and go back to
                      hanging out with all his fratboy friends back at Haas,
                      where he belongs!
