Subject: [PATCH] Attempt to hard link across filesystems results in un-unmountable filesystem
Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2000 14:47:54 +1100 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <14873.61546.744658.589662@rockhopper.linuxcare.com.au> (raw)
Hi Linus,
In 2.4-test11 attempting to hard link a file across filesystems (the
link does fail correctly) results in one of the filesystems (the one
the hard link was to be created on) to be in a state such that it
can't be unmounted.
The attached patch fixes this problem.
Chris.
