[Bug 336762] Re: ntfs hard links not working

[Bart de Koning]

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)
