[Bug 661499] Re: link (2) does not work over nfsv4 in 10.10

[Åke Holmlund]

Hi Jeremy,

Interesting...

Tested two upstream kernels, v2.6.35.4-maverick and v2.6.35.7-maverick,
both behaved as expected (link worked ok).

However, in the process I discovered that it seems like link(2) ONLY
fails (with the 2.6.35-22-generic kernel) if a program creates a file
and then tries to link. If the file is closed and then reopened OR the
file already exists when the program starts, link also works with the
2.6.35-22-generic kernel. If the file is created by the program, it
makes no difference if the file is open or closed when the first link
attempt is made.

Hope this helps!
