Hi,
I've already noticed that almost 30G of data is saved on CentOS
mirrors (only counting release 4/5, i386 and x86_64 archs), just by
using hardlinks for similar packages.
But I have gone further, and checked if something else could be
saved, and my hardlink report is this:
Directories 404
Objects 45722
IFREG 45231
Mmaps 307
Comparisons 308
Would link 300
Would save 78958592
Another 300 files, 79Mbytes could be saved. Not as much as what is
already saved, but some (38) of these files are RPMs, so it makes me
wonder if the hardlink process is not automatic at all, and who should I
contact in such cases, if not this list.
