Hey, Hard links are supported as the test works for me (ubuntu 9.04, ntfs-3g 2009.2.1 external FUSE 27), HOWEVER:
$ echo 'file A' > A $ cat A file A $ ln A B $ cat A file A $ cat B file A $ ls -als totaal 9 0 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2009-09-17 14:06 . 8 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 2009-09-17 14:04 .. 1 -rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 7 2009-09-17 14:06 A 1 -rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 7 2009-09-17 14:06 B (Checked using nautilus the size of the dir: contents were 2 files total size: 7 bytes -> ah hard links) The test: $ echo 'file B' > B $ cat A B file A file B First conclusion was that the test failed, however I used BackinTime (combination of rsync and cp -al) to make some snapshots here that clearly showed support of hard links, and the dir was still 7 bytes in nautilus i.s.o. 14 ?!? More tests: $ echo "Test A" >> A $ cat A B file A Test A file B Test A OK now things are getting messy here, why is Test A written to both files, but the file A not changed ?!? One more test $ echo "File 3" >> B $ cat A B file B Test A File 3 file B Test A File 3 Do you get it, I do not: it not only introduced File 3 in both files, it also changed the File A to File B Could it be an after effect of some caching event? oh btw: $ mount | grep /media/D0111055_SYS /dev/sda1 on /media/D0111055_SYS type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) -- ntfs hard links not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
