How do programs that measure available space like ‘lsblk’, ‘df’, ‘zfs list’ etc see hardlinks and estimate disk space.
If I am trying to manage disk space, does the file system correctly display disk space (for example a zfs list)? Or does it think that I have duplicate files/directories because it can’t tell what is a hardlink?
Also, during move operations, zfs dataset migrations, etc… does the hardlinked file continue tracking where the original is? I know it is almost impossible at a system level to discern which is the original.
