Did you created hard link or concluding on the basis of 'ls -li' output ?

Hi sumeet inani,

I've tried it and mounted my NTFS partition in Linux. Seems that there is always at least a "1" for NTFS. Here the output for "ls -lh /mnt/tmp

Code:

I did not create a hard link .
Actually /dev/sda6 is mounted as /sumeet.
If there is another it should be on same partition .
Isn't it ?
