Description of problem: In mkfs/Makefile the following link command is done while installing: ln -f ${MKFS} ${sbindir}/${JADD} Although this syntax would work for a symbolic link, it will not do what you want for a hard link: ${JADD} in the *install root* will be hardlinked to ${MKFS} in the *build directory* (which fails when they are on different filesystems!) and the result is that ${MKFS} and ${JADD} in ${sbindir} will not be hardlinked. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.1.25-1.el5 Solution: change the link in mkfs/Makefile to: ln -f ${sbindir}/${MKFS} ${sbindir}/${JADD}
