Subject: Hard linking symlink does not work
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2020 13:13:02 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGj4m+5rpNqW=XnU2cxGmWiBi47w3XTvn9EGekVPjq74pHfFGA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I have found that hard links for regular files works well for me over NFS:

$ touch bar
$ ln bar tata

But if I try to make hard link for symlink, then it fails:

$ ln -s foo bar
$ ln bar tata
ln: failed to create hard link 'tata' => 'bar': Operation not permitted

I am using NFSv4 with Vagrant, here is mount entry:

172.28.128.1:PATH on /vagrant type nfs4
(rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=IP,local_lock=none,addr=IP)

I have also verified that rpc-statd is running on host.

Host machine is Ubuntu 18.04 with NFS packages version 1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5.3.

Will appreciate help on this.

Thanks,
Vasyl
