Hi,
I created an empty symlink on an ext2 filesystem while I was in
GNU/Hurd. Later on that partitions was checked by e2fsck (in
GNU/Linux) and when it encountered that symlink, it reported a
filesystem inconsistency, which I had to repair manually.
That doesn't seem so sane to me, either ext2fs should not allow such
links or it shouldn't be a serious filesystem error. Or am I wrong?
