Subject: *nix file systems
Is a *nix file system guranteed to be acyclic?

That is no:

File-a links to file-b and file-b links to file-a

And more important

No directory-a contains link-b where link-b points to directory-a.

Also

Directory-a contains no link-b to directory-c where directory-c contains
link-d to directory-a.
