[Info-vax] Hard links on VMS ODS5 disks

I am just about to install V9.2-1 and intrigued about hard links.

When I installed E9.2-1 it asked me if I wanted to enable hard links, 
with a warning to read the docs, but I wasn't much wiser afterwards.

I get he impression that it is much cleaner with them enables, but what 
are the downside risks?

I have used soft links on *nix for many years, but only for linking to a 
directory, which you cannot do with hard links

Any thoughts?
