Yes hard links aren't supported in TernFS. They would actually be really difficult to make work in this kind of sharded metadata design as they would need to be reference counted and all the operations would need to go via the CDC. It wouldn't really have matched with the design philosphy of simple and predictable performance.
- em-bee 1y agowell, that's at least consistent. if hard-links aren't even supported, you can't break hard-links by replacing a file with a new one through renaming either.
