Yes, that works! Ppatch did not apply to tzcode 2023c, but I used the latest from the git repo, which included this patch. Looks like it made hardlinks without issues. Kernel version is actually 2.6.24 and 2.6.25.

What's the Linux kernel version? 2.6.16 or 2.6.17?
Please try the attached proposed patch, which I installed into the development sources on GitHub. I don't have easy access to systems like yours so it'd be helpful if you could test the patch. Thanks.
