Backup all the files in dns/ directory.

  # cd dns/sam.ldb.d

  # rm DC%3DDOMAINDNSZONES,DC%3DMUC,DC%3DMEDIZINISCHE-GENETIK,DC%3DDE.ldb
  # rm DC%3DFORESTDNSZONES,DC%3DMUC,DC%3DMEDIZINISCHE-GENETIK,DC%3DDE.ldb
  # rm metadata.tdb

  # ln ../../sam.ldb.d/DC%3DDOMAINDNSZONES,DC%3DMUC,DC%3DMEDIZINISCHE-GENETIK,DC%3DDE.ldb
.
  # ln ../../sam.ldb.d/DC%3DFORESTDNSZONES,DC%3DMUC,DC%3DMEDIZINISCHE-GENETIK,DC%3DDE.ldb
  # ln ../../sam.ldb.d/metadata.tdb .

That should be fix it.

No other files are hard linked as far as I know.
