If hardlinks are created the inode numbers should be the same. But when
I hashified 2 of my vservers (I first used the -nv option to see which
files would be unified) I checked the files that were supposed to have
been unified and I don't get the same inode number? I don't get any
error messages, I'm not sure if my hashify is working? How can I check?
Like I mentioned in another thread, I created the second vserver using a
template of the first one. The number of links on most files in the
template is already more than one, and hashify does not increase the
number of these links.

I'm using FC4, I can't seem to find the vunify-exclude file....
