  22       <div class="date">30th August 2010</div>
  23       <div class="body"><p>Just got an email from Tobias Gruetzmacher as a followup on my
  24 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Broken_umask_handling_with_sshfs.html">previous
  25 post about sshfs</a>.  He reported another problem with sshfs.  It
  26 fail to handle hard links properly.  A simple way to spot this is to
  27 look at the . and .. entries in the directory tree.  These should have
  28 a link count >1, but on sshfs the count is 1.  I just tested to see
  29 what happen when trying to hardlink, and this fail as well:</p>
  30
  31 <pre>
  32 % ln foo bar
  33 ln: creating hard link `bar' => `foo': Function not implemented
  34 %
  35 </pre>
  36
  37 <p>I have not yet found time to implement a test for this in my file
  38 system test code, but believe having working hard links is useful to
  39 avoid surprised unix programs.  Not as useful as working file locking
  40 and symlinks, which are required to get a working desktop, but useful
  41 nevertheless. :)</p>
  42
  43 <p>The latest version of the file system test code is available via
  44 git from
