When executed this oneliner over Samba 4.3 network share, it takes 5 seconds to match the newly created hardlink. I'm wondering if this is Cygwin, Samba or Windows networking issue?
==== BTW -- found the cause of this: Under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters There are 3 values to control cache lifetime. FileInfoCacheLifetime (default 10 seconds) FileNotFoundCacheLifetime (default 5 seconds) DirectoryCacheLifetime (default 10 seconds) The FileNotFoundCacheLifetime looks to be the culprit -- since when I traced the ethernet traffic with wireshark, I would see multiple responses of 'notfound' before it finally showed up. I reset my 5-second value to 3, and your script passed over its value in 3 seconds after that... You might have to reboot your machine to ensure the value gets propegated to the LANmanworkstation client. There are other ways, but none that reliable. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
