8. CreateHardLink() Windows API [cygwin] [ActivePerl]
======================================================
The CreateHardLink() Windows API function isn't apparently able to create
hardlinks on network drives, whereas with the sfu ln utility, you can. Both
C:\sfu\common\ln.exe and C:\sfu\bin\ln work, where the former seems to call
the latter internally. As CreateHardLink() is used by cygwin (and ActivePerl,
too), you cannot with these.
I just verified that CreateHardLink() works correctly on network
drives, IF you use WinXP or Win2003. I tested successfully WinXP-SP2
and Win2003-SP0.
On Win2000-SP4 however, it does not work. :-(
Thank you, Corinna.
