thanks leann for your suggestions. i just tested 2.6.24-1. i'm sorry, but 2.6.24-1 does not fix the problem. it persists just as before. creating hard links links works fine (the link count is updated correctly). deleting any file with multiple links sets the link count to 0 immediately (which also makes it impossible to delete the other links).
the main area where this makes trouble is .Xauthority -- since using hfsplus as my home partition i often get banned from using my X11. when i look at the .Xautority-file i see its link-count being 0 and its size being zero, too. i frequently need to boot to os x and run fsck_hfs to fix the link counts in my home directory and delete the broken files (that once were hard links). greetings, - till -- hfsplus unlink problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154416 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
