I presume you are referring to hardlinks - with multiple directory
entries pointing to the same inode.
Looking at db/check.c/addname_inode() it looks like it only stores
the first name that it comes across during directory processing when
scanning happens in the blockget command.


addname_inode(
       inodata_t       *id,
       char            *name,
       int             namelen)
{
       if (!nflag || id->name)  <---- if name exists, then return
               return;
       id->name = xmalloc(namelen + 1);
       memcpy(id->name, name, namelen);
       id->name[namelen] = '\0';
}

So we just get one valid path.
