hard linking a file

[lovingHDTV]

I"m trying to track down why sickrage isn't working and have tracked it down to unRaid failing to create hard links.

 

If I run:

ln test foo

ln: failed to create hard link âfooâ => âtestâ: Function not implemented

 

 

It wont create the hard link.  Is this a package gone wrong?  Can anyone else create a hard link?

 

thanks,

david

It works fine on the cache share and disk shares: /mnt/cache/ or /mnt/disk#/.

It does not work on user shares: /mnt/user/

Well don't that beat all!!!

 

The reason none of the sickrage builds worked for me is that sickrage does a hard link.  I had them pointed to /mnt/user/apps/<blah>

 

That actually resides on /mnt/cache/apps/<blah>

 

Changing  from user to cache and it all works fine.

 

What a long twisted road to figure out that you can't create a hard link on user shares.

What is it linking? That is really odd behavior for a media downloaded.

It was creating a lockfile.
