I'm running an NTFS drive, and my source file has 2 hard-links to it.
Running "xz -9evf source.txt" prints:
xz: source.txt: Input file has more than one hard link, skipping

When using "4.999.9beta-10", it correctly compresses that file.

Thanks for the report. I'll investigate and report it upstream. -- Chuck

Did you ever get a response about this?
