A file system may contain hard link to a file in another file systemGroup of answer choicesTrueFalse

The statement is False.

In computer file systems, a hard link is a directory entry that associates a name with a file on a disk. Hard links are an integral part of the file system and link to the specific inode of a file, which contains the metadata and data for the file. Hard links can only link files within the same file system because they reference a specific inode. When a hard link is created, it essentially provides an additional name for the same file data without duplicating the data itself.

On the other hand, symbolic links (or symlinks) can link to files in different file systems. A symbolic link points to the pathname of a file instead of directly to the inode, allowing references across different file systems. Therefore, hard links cannot span multiple file systems, making the statement provided incorrect.
