I'm not sure about the stability of FAT, but that doesn't have hardlink support 
anyway. AFAIK NTFS does support hardlinks in principle, but our implementation 
doesn't, and ATM I would recommend using it read-only. The other relevant file 
system implementations (ext, ReiserFS) are read-only.

I thought there was a read/write driver for ext2 on BeOS. But maybe that was a closed-source Be, Inc. driver, and not something off BeBits. I can't remember any more.
