Description Need Real Name 2012-02-02 08:45:41 UTC

Description of problem:
If I run hardlink on a directory which contains a sub-directory with a loopback iso mount, hardlink will produce a lot of warnings.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hardlink-1.0-12.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Warnings.

Expected results:
Do not try to hardlink the file (or hardlink it in the other direction, if that works).

Fixed in rawhide.

I added -f option to override the default no hardlinking across filesystems behaviour.

Thanks. So will the warnings about trying to hardlink things on loopback mounts go away?

Comment 3 Jindrich Novy 2012-04-15 12:56:32 UTC

Yes. Actually hardlink will refuse to do any hardlinks from one to other filesystem as long as no -f option is specified.
