On same dedicated server, i have tree:

-cstrikeserver(snapshoot)
--cstrike
---sounds
----defaultsounds
---sprites
----defaultsprites
---maps
----de_dust2.bsp
----defaultmaps.bsp
--valve
---etc

And I have several servers on the machine in different folders with the same files that the snapshot.

Is there any plugin to prevent this?
Rather than having each copy your file, it defaults to read files from snapshot.

Basically a "ln -s"

This will save very more disk space.

A plugin cannot do that. The only way that I know of is to use symlinks on the OS (which you already know about).

I did it on windows with mklink and it works. I recommend creating shell script that will set it up for you since doing everything manually would take a lot of time.

On Debian you can do this:

cp -rs /cs_master/* /cs_slave/

It re-creates the folder structure from cs_master, but makes symlinks for all files. So, if you want to edit e.g. server.cfg you delete the server.cfg symlink and create a new file called server.cfg.

I will use symlink files only for patterns that exist on all servers.

example:

CS1.6/cstrike/defaultmaps.bsp
CS1.6/valve

I'll do it to save disk space.

That is what the command I gave you is doing.
