I have a naive question about how balance handles hardlinks.
Let's say I have the following structure:
sda
|
| Folder A
| Folder A2
sdb
|
| Folder B
| Folder B2
Where files in folder A and A2 point to the same inodes (same story for B and B2).
If I do a mergerfs.balance on the sda-sdb merge, what will happen to my files? If, for example, content from B is moved to sda, will the corresponding hardlinks in B2 be broken? Will they be moved? If yes, to a newly created B2 directory into sda?
