1. Please describe the problem: The hardlink lives in /usr/bin and not in user/sbin $ rpm -q --scripts kernel-devel-5.8.15-201.fc32.x86_64 postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/kernel ] then . /etc/sysconfig/kernel || exit $? fi if [ "$HARDLINK" != "no" -a -x /usr/sbin/hardlink -a ! -e /run/ostree-booted ] then (cd /usr/src/kernels/5.8.15-201.fc32.x86_64 && /usr/bin/find . -type f | while read f; do hardlink -c /usr/src/kernels/*.fc32.*/$f $f done) fi $ type hardlink hardlink is /usr/bin/hardlink 2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel: util-linux-2.35.2-1.fc32.x86_64 kernel-devel-5.8.12-200.fc32.x86_64 kernel-devel-5.8.13-200.fc32.x86_64 kernel-devel-5.8.14-200.fc32.x86_64 kernel-devel-5.8.15-201.fc32.x86_64 3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue *first* appear? Old kernels are available for download at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 : It is not a problem with the kernel per se. Just a little saving of disk space isn't working.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '32'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Still found issue in kernel-devel-5.11.15-300.fc34.x86_64
Yeah, sorry about that, not sure how I missed the original bug coming in. hardlink was moved from it's own package to util-linux in 2019 and this has been broken since. You are the first one who seems to have noticed. Fixed in git, and this should show up in 5.11.18 and newer kernels. Thanks for finding it.

Some people may even be happy that it stopped working, as running the hardlinks is rather slow.
