When using `restic mount` to serve a repository via a POSIX host's file system, all files backed up from Windows systems will show up on the mounting host with a (hard)link count of 0. While this is not a problem in general and most programs do not even register this strange value, some others (such as Samba's smbd(8)) will go the extra mile and check a file's stat() results for various properties (such as a positive non-zero link count), and refuse to operate if any of the reported values appear off. Since other inode properties absent from non-POSIX backup sources are also "faked up" (e.g., the inode number) during mount and work fine in general, the chances of this change to be in any way harmful are probably rather slim.
