REALLY linking files - not hard or symlink?

Asked by jb

Wasn't sure where to post this so here it goes. This isn't a problem, more a thought. I want to "link" two files, but in this case by link, I mean physically attached them so that when either is copied, moved, or edited, BUT not deleted, those operations are literally mirrored onto the other file. Strange thought I know but if it can be done it would be extremely useful for my particular setup.

Thanks!

Use rsync (or similar) . You can then replicate change in one file system to another.
