Description Tim Waugh 2003-03-31 17:58:23 EST 
Description of problem:
The device/inode numbers of the mount-point and the source directory of a bind
mount are the same.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.20-8

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
As root:

mkdir x y
mount --bind x y
stat --format='%d %n' x y
touch x/foo
ln x/foo y/bar

Actual results:
773 x
773 y
ln: creating hard link `y/bar' to `x/foo': Invalid cross-device link

Expected results:
Different device numbers.

Additional info:
This is connected with bug #86302 (cp --preserve=links vs mount --bind).
Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2003-04-11 09:26:29 EDT 
it's the same device.... what's the issue ??????
Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2003-05-22 06:32:47 EDT 
That ln is told it can't make a *cross*-device link, i.e. a link between two
different devices.

If the mount points are the same device, why can't I make a link between them?
Comment 3 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 11:40:42 EDT 
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
