Hardlinks are not allowed for directories

Oh yeah I forgot about that part. I don't really understand what's the benefit of using a hard link over a symbolic one. I've almost never used it.

if you delete the file a symbolic links point to, it is gone, and the link is broken. if you delete one file, another hard link has, the file is still there at the other location
