What is the difference between a hard link and a soft link in Unix?
Answer / nashiinformaticssolutions
• Hard Link: A direct pointer to the file’s data on the disk. Hard links share the same inode number as the original file and continue to exist even if the original file is deleted.
• Soft Link (Symbolic Link): A pointer to the file name rather than the file’s data. It is a separate file with its inode number. If the original file is deleted, the soft link becomes a dangling link, pointing to a non-existent file.
