Hi,

I was recently reading about hardlinks and was told that hardlinks is not supported across directories i.e /home and /tmp etc.


I tried creating a hardlink between them and was able to create and access it

sharadg@tripwire:/tmp$ ln b /home/sharadg/a
sharadg@tripwire:/tmp$ ls -i b /home/sharadg/a
3424472 b 3424472 /home/sharadg/a


Can you explain this ?
