Question
In linux, describe the difference between a hardlink and a soft/symbolic link, in terms of the inode concept.
Answer
Hardlink is same inode (datastructure with unique id that describes the file) for two different filenames, the initial filename and the link (so both file names point to same disk block), whereas softlink is two different inodes (and disk blocks) where the link is just a pointer to the original file name.
