Comment (by hinder):
BeeGFS does not support hard links as used by Formaline, as I understand it. This is becoming a very popular filesystem for HPC, and I think we need to support it. The new AEI NR cluster uses BeeGFS. How hard would it be to include a workaround? e.g. use hardlinks if possible, but revert to the slow method if not?
