SOFT LINK
Soft Links have different inode numbers.
ls -l command shows all links with second column value 1 and
the link points to original file.
Removing soft link doesn't affect anything but removing
original file the link becomes dangling link which points to
nonexistant file
Soft link can create across the file system
------------------------------------------------
HARD LINK
Hard Links have same inode number.
ls -l command shows all the links with the link
column(Second) shows No. of links.
.Removing any link just reduces the link count but doesn't
affect other links.
Hard link cannot create across the file system
