shfs is not accurately displaying hard link information

 

When accessing a hardlink file through shfs it is showing up twice in ls/du/etc.

 

root@Tower:/mnt/user/Test# du -h
5.3G	./Dir1
5.3G	./Dir2
11G	.

root@Tower:/mnt/user/Test# ls -i Dir1/File1
142 Dir1/File1
root@Tower:/mnt/user/Test# ls -i Dir2/Hardlink 
562 Dir2/Hardlink

But if you go to the disk itself...

 

root@Tower:/mnt/disk1/Test# ls -i Dir1/File1 
102 Dir1/File1
root@Tower:/mnt/disk1/Test# ls -i Dir2/Hardlink 
102 Dir2/Hardlink

However df -h reports the disk space usage correctly.

 

Thank you!

Right, nothing we can do about that one.  The inode number displayed via /mnt/user refers to FUSE node-id which is not a real inode.  It's a transient memory structure that exists for a short amount of time (or if NFS enabled, for the 'fuse_remember' time period specified in Settings/NFS).

 

Is this breaking some application?
