Hmmm, pnpm also uses hardlinks (or a reflink if it’s available) to copy out of a content addressable on disk cache.

Still don't understand whhy we even need all these inodes.. The repo is centrally accessible (and should be read-only btw). Resolving that shouldn't be a problem. It's been more than a decade and npm is still a mess.

No arguments here! I'm consistently dismayed at the state of these tools :(
