Hi you windows folks

Telnet to your router, go to /shares/MYVOLUME1/MYSHARE1, do:
ls web -all

and get this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Mar 19 21:02 Music -> /shares/MYVOLUME1/MYSHARE1/Music

The first letter in lrwxrwxrwx tells you that Music is just a link to the place were your music really is.
It's a nice feature of Linux, think of it as a shortcut, although it is not the same.

So, it takes virtually no space. You could remove the link, but then the music would not be accessible from your windows share anymore.
