Re: opendir() - THE ANSWER

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris, the link() API will create a hard-link to a file in a file 
system.  A hard-link can be thought of as an "alternative filename" for 
the file.  It doesn't actually copy the physical data on disk, it's just 
another filename for the same block of bytes on disk.

The link() API will only work if the file and it's new link are located 
in the same file system.  (Which won't work in your scenario.  Your data 
is not only on a separate file system, it's on a completely separate 
computer!)
