What Are The Hard Links In NTFS?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Hard Links
    This obsession is in NTFS for a quite long time but it was used very hardly ever - and on the other hand: Hard Link is as soon as the same file has two names (a number of directory entries are pointing to the similar MFT documentation). Let us confess that the identical file has the names 1.txt and 2.txt: if a consumer deletes file 1, file 2 will stay put. If he deletes file 2, file 1 will stay behind. That means both names are entirely equal from the instant of creation. A file is bodily deleted only when its previous name is deleted. There are two links in it.

    Symbolic Links (NT5)
    There is greatly more practical likelihood permitting to make the fundamental directories, very much as fundamental disks - by the authority subset in DOS. The applications are wide an adequate amount: first it is the oversimplification of the directories system.

    Encryption (NT5)
    There is a helpful opportunity for people who are concerned about their secrets - each file or directory can also be encrypted and thus cannot be understand writing by one more NT installation.
