ah, you don't understand what hardlinks are. Hardlinks are simply different
names (directory entries) pointing to the same content (inode, file). They're
indistinguishable from each other. There's no "primary" name, they are all
equal. The content you access is identical, no matter which of the names you
use.

If you need more explanation, google is your friend.

No. Hardlinks can obviously only work within one file system.
