Answer Posted / rahmad
soft link :
we can create soft link by using #ln -s command
we can create soft link,if the source file doesnt exist.
If the source file delete,we cannot access the content.But
the link exist.we can create a link file which is belong to
another file system,another directory.
Soft link doesnt share the inode number.if u issue ls -l
command l in the first column display the file is a soft
link.
Hard link:
#ln <source file> <link>
we cannot link the file,if the file doesnt exist.
we can link the file with in a directory.
if the source file delete,we can view the content of the
link file..
Hd share the inode number.
