Summary: hardlinks break when creating root_fs_i386.ext2
Description:
hardlinks break when creating root_fs_i386.ext2
I noticed this when trying to fit a small buildroot onto a floppy. I had
e2fsck, fsck.ext2, fsck.ext3 all hardlinked in build_i386/root/sbin, but
they became separate inodes in root_fs_i386.ext2. The genext2fs man page
says it does not support hard links, and that "hard links present in the
input tree will be represented as separate files in the ext2 image."
Well that's not much good when you need to squeeze root into a very small
space. So now I create my own filesystem image, without using genext2fs.
It's not too hard to replace genext2fs with a script, and maintain the
hardlinks.

This should be fixed in the meantime. We switched to genext2fs-1.4
recently.
Please re-open this bug if you still encounter problems.
thanks
