Comment (by ttcoder):
Ran into this last week too, though that was with '''symlinks'''
(humdinger you do mean hardlinks, e.g. from the Linux ext2fs file system
or similar right ? not BFS symlinks ?). If a symbolic link points to a
non-existent file, I get the above requester with a red "!" mark.
My use case was copying the whole /boot partition of an old (pre PM) Haiku
install from a failing HDD (with the infamous "click of death") to a fresh
new HDD.. On a typical Haiku partition there were lots of symlinks, some
of which might appear to be "broken" when seen from another partition, and
so it was kinda painful to hit enter..enter..enter again and again to go
through the whole thing :-) .. A "copy all" or "ignore all" (to
acknowledge once and for all) would have been useful, true that.
