Since TM relies on folder hard links, that could be an issue.

That is not my understanding of how it works. A POSIX-compliant file system cannot have directory hard links.


I believe it creates directories, and uses hard links within those directories.

Your understanding is wrong.

Search for "Hard linking directories" and you can find some code that will do it for you.
