    help help help it appears as though i have hard links across two different storage mediums and that shouldn't be possible but its happening.

    we have backup of our computer before reinstalling OS a while back and it has a .steam folder in the home directory and somehow the .steam/root/steamapps subdirectory in the backup on our hard drive has been hardlinked (same inode?????) and synchronizes with the same folder on our main ssd. help help help help

    Aaaaa thank u for the boost @lispi314 !

    Here’s a little more info for anyone looking to help, and we can get more upon request tomorrow:

    Linux Mint Cinnamon

    Uhhh embarrassing to say but:
    we made a full-disk backup to a new borg repo on the hard disk

    then realized there was no way for us to preview or check a full disk backup

    then made an rsync backup accidentally to the same folder as the borg repo

    and iwrc, i think we deleted most of the borg repo specific things we recognized

    Only the steamapps folder is synced i think but i haven’t like. Checked the rest of my computer super thoroughly.

    Is there a tool for visualizing links in the file hierarchy?
