instead of copies of the file?
Answer Posted / susheel narayan singh
The main advantage of creating links to a file because
if there is one file and max user want to work on that file
at a time by linking they can work on that.
There are two type of linking-
1-Hard link
2-Soft link
Hard link is same as copy but its inode no. is same.when u
remove the orginal file which u have link then it will not
effect in hard link file.
Soft link is copy but disadvantage is that when u remove the
orginal file then soft link file will not work.
