Hello, All.

   We use unison in our production infrastructure. We synchronize 10
pairs of ours network storages (FreeBSD + ZFS + NFS). They work as
master-slave.

   We observe increasing amounts of hard links on ours master storages.
Unison synchronize files as is. So we have a different folders size
between master and slave. On slave storages folders are large than on
master.

  Is unison can support hard links and don't synchronize redundant files?

I’m afraid not. This has been a known shortcoming for a while.

It would take some serious work, at both design and implementation levels. But if someone wants to take it on, I think people would be happy to help point them in the right direction.
