Hi.
I vaguely recall that long ago, only root was allowed to make hard links to directories.
A quick skim of man pages shows that SunOS vm-solaris 5.10 does not seem to allow that, and Linux 2.6.24-1-686 warns that it may not work even for root.
I suggest you wait for a few more replies, but if I were in this situation and if the -f (force) and running as root does not work, I'd be thinking of making a backup, and running a filesystem check.
Best wishes ... cheers, drl
