• hard links default setting not working

    After upgrading to 6.8 rc1, every time I tried to run a command on a User Share file of the form: 

    ln filename newfilename

    I was getting a "function not implemented" error back.  

     

    I checked Settings->Global Share Settings and the option for hard links was displayed as "Yes".   I stopped the array and toggled this setting to No, hit apply, toggled it back to Yes, hit apply, and restarted the array.   The command to create the hard link now worked as expected.

     

    This suggests that the system is not correctly picking up the default for this setting.  Setting it explicitly seems to work so it is probably only a once off issue on any particular system, but it may catch unwary users.
