Hi,
Elias Kueny <elias.kueny@posteo.net> skribis:

This is expected: /gnu/store/.links contains hard links to other files
in /gnu/store. IOW /gnu/store/.links is a subset of the rest of
/gnu/store, sharing the same inodes.

Note that the issue you mention was addressed to a large extent in 2021:

HTH!
