- Subject: CYGWIN inode over Samba share not constructed from IndexNumber
Hello,
Ran into a quirk that caused some trouble.
For some reason CYGWIN 1.7.5 (I know this is old)
is constructing inode values for files on
Samba (3.6.4) shares with a different algorithm
than is used for files on NTFS volumes.
This caused a script that checks for matching
hard-links to fail.
Confirmed that Samba is returning the actual
inode values in 'IndexNumber' with 'procmon'
while running the
stat -c '%h %d %i' filename
command. See https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2012-May/167381.html.
Is CYGWIN mistaking the Samba share for a FAT32
volume and using an inode-faking algo? Or
is it something else? Was this fixed in
a newer version of CYGWIN? I did try a search
but came up with nothing. With NTFS the
inode values reported do match the underlying
'IndexNumber' value.
Please CC me with any replies as I am not
subscribed to the list.
Thanks
