OK, I downloaded a copy of sfu and a few minutes testing confirms that
mounting a windows NFS export onto Linux does support hard links.
At least 'ln oldfile newname' works and 'ls -l' shows the link
counts go up.  The documentation mentioned something about a max
of 1024 links that could be changed with an environment setting and
another setting that would optimize performance if all access
is through NFS instead of having to keep local access in sync.
It also has case-sensitivity, so in theory it should work for
BackupPC.  I don't think I'll try it myself anytime soon, though.
I'm having enough trouble fighting a new virus on the windows boxes
this week that I don't want to put anything else there.
