What happens to hard links?

This is a serious flaw. The emperor has no clothes. People should sue at&t for this shit.
I'm not sure why I'm bothering to respond to this, but I'd hate to think someone might take the above message seriously and think that there's some kind of "serious flaw" in CFS demonstrated by this sequence of (hypothetical, incorrect) commands. So here goes: What on earth are you talking about? As I pointed out in a previous message, that's not how CFS works - you can't link across encrypted directories. There may be (and probably are) bugs in or attacks against CFS, but this isn't one of them. -matt
