Not sure if it has been tested in the wild or not but the filesystem
itself contains a _TON_ of hardlinks. Creation of hardlinks is one of the
big purposes of this filesystem.
Ah ha ... I bet that you'll find tar/cp-a/whatever is having a major
problem keeping tabs on which inodes it's "seen", so it doesn't copy
the
same data N times. Try running: cp -a --no-preserve=links ... and see if
that is much faster?
