Looking at a file with n references by hard links: n=1 is the trivial case. No changes needed. All involved directories are read-only: Another trivial case to be ignored here. For n>1: I would suggest that the file is compressed and the directory entries are adjusted accordingly, if the directories can be written.
PS: All paths to the file have to be given on the gzip command line, of course. I don't expect gzip to search for all references. Regards Harri
