When you rename a folder, you don't usually do a recursive rename of everything inside. When you delete a folder -- you don't, unless it's "rmdir". You recursively delete each file inside, and it's that kind of operation that creates problems for hard links to directories. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBP9E20wisZLIF6uqOAQIgfQ/7BxHQKiew/8jCIlo7lKKLHBxBS1mnZBLH rNaJFnqZLCHJOsPSphx2YcVxRq4IhSCK4lKdT5IMzbwwY9nQOyp7ans8IgzTLMbh edryWJXWjOPI4Q6ZS9j7mPnDa5452CBc5/ioMJIuuqScH/MMoeK5hWOqED/snzl/ NzjIvxWgaXv8FWZsN/0WG/GPFwlp0KdaM2uPZSfozMZ8r/j4lc5kYsYhL/frDKH8 kkU6I6AvEQTsdAT+NP+idfwYFMkYelfd8y0jkLzq3kN+XiogC7fdaC0U+biKTxpg rSfs608okneLNGPe0zunmBD/xuZAEbvf6d+ILML4F7VBpG+4j5Wt/KAneJJyCM3H QQggG4O36pPeHOHvjJ446njjTYq1KBBO5oZdJvmWp5vUiQW+zA88uHUsn7KjTKkY 5/czmukczBIK7wcYjHPKGUsOLUmWKp331eybeOMTM6UsMiWORfQwKsQitKG+pkFf j01ClbPUICH6tRhZ08JJZsO11hsAIjDaWVib2a+fHBuiXpEgoKaLIuqrxHfgJaUr 1PUlcKn8G9RNYXZkO+ZH7bts9WhkGcukFLMotiuRrLY+W70QhnA/DLay0siadhu9 3DTiRWCx2+y8MswlKyMa1N9hYI0EPtPqNIAnbtl9cG+Cx/PiIWoN1lzZDr6NJ0P6 GotO6gSuOMQ= =7FN9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
