One Basic Question:Can a file have links accross filesystems?

[alcazar]

We, know that within a single filesystem we can create links in the follwing way:

ln -s <file_name|file path> <Symbolic_nam e>

Eg:bestcode/array21.txt has three symbolic links arr1,arr2,arr3.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 sumit sumit 20 Jun 13 13:24 arr3 -> bestcode/array21.txt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 sumit sumit 20 Jun 13 13:24 arr2 -> bestcode/array21.txt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 sumit sumit 20 Jun 13 13:24 arr1 -> bestcode/array21.txt

Now my question is,

Suppose there are three files in three different file systems,is it possible to create symbolic links accross these three different file systems.

Yes. It is possible to create symlinks across filesystems. That is one of the primary functions of symlinks, in fact.
