is really nothing more than a link in the super block.  The super block
maintains all information about which disk blocks belong tio which
files.  For your simlink the new file entry simply gets the same
inode id copied to the table.  Same inode, same code... With
shared libraries in memory,  for the 10 servers only 1 copy
exists in swap. Only 1 copy exists in memory.

I hope this is more clear."

Hi Ryan.

Thanks for the update! Its much appreciated.
When you say Friday, do you mean this Friday? (ie today for us in Europe) 
17/12/2004 or do you mean 24/12/2004.

Just want to make sure because of the timezones ;¬)
