I still make extensive use of this ...

Photos on my system are generally owned by root, and in an archive directory. Then they are hard-linked into various user directories. Given that they are typically 10, 16 or 24 MP in size, that saves a LOT of space when you are storing several copies of each photo ...

(not that I particularly wish to crypto-protect my photos, but other people might have similar setups to mine where they do want protection.)

Cheers,
