This feature has been added to their file system in 10.5 (for time machine), but I could not find any information on actually using it from the command line.

I need to "bind" one directory to many chrooted places. I know that I can do "mount -o bind", but this requires special processing on startup each time (run the mount).
Is there a way to do it on the filesystem directly? My fs is ext4 and it seems not to support hardlinks to directories. Hardlinking…

ln /path/to/source/file1 /path/to/target/file2
Using md5sum, the two files are identical. After a while, the source file has been modified by another program. The target file does not get "updated". The md5sums are now different. The files are on…
