18-LFCS: Linux Essentials ( Working with Links) By IT Training and Tutorials
►Hard Link acts like a mirror copy of the original file. These links share the same inodes. Changes made to the original or hard linked file will reflect in the other. When you delete Hard Link nothing will happen to the other file. Hard links can't cross file systems.
►Soft Link is actual link to the original file. These Links will have a different Inodes value. Soft link points to the original file so if original file is deleted then the soft link fails. If you delete the Soft Link, nothing will happen to file. The reason for this is, the actual file or directory’s inode is different from the "soft link" created file's inodes. Soft links can cross file systems.
