hardlink

I know FAT32, as well as FAT16/12 neither support symbolic links nor hard-links . However I came up with this idea: The FAT specification describes that every file is associated with a directory-entry. In my understanding, one could say that a file-entry in a directory somehow or other points to the file's content. So, how can I define two directory-entries which point to the same file-content? Or, what could prevent me from doing so? Use case: I have a USB mass storage device for my car radio, and I want to use directories as playlists since the radio software doesn't support playlists. So it

To fix a bug in this answer : What's the correct name of the function to create a hard link in MSVCRT? cHao Oddly enough, there's a function called CreateHardLink .

I have thousand of own installers that requires a critical dll file for uninstallation step, this dll file sizes about 2 mb then to avoid unnecessary disk space (2mb*100 installers) I would like to store the file once in {cf} then make a hardlink for the next installers that requires that file. I could create a hardlink in Inno Setup without the need of external apps such as mklink.exe usage? This is a brief example of what I have, all my installers follow the same "structure": [Files] ; VCL Styles Source: {tmp}\uninstall.vsf; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion Source: {tmp}\uninstall.dll;

How do I create file hardlink in PowerShell on Windows 10? PSCX has New-Hardlink , but is it still needed on Windows 10? You could always shell out to mklink , but from powershell that requires you prefix the command with cmd /c , which is ugly and hard to remember. New-Item -ItemType HardLink -Name CoverageCount.cs -Value ..\..\OPIAspnet5\Models\CoverageCount.cs The ItemType parameter now includes a type for hardlinks, which I feel is a hidden gem of PowerShell on Windows 10. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31863258/how-do-i-create-file-hardlink-in-powershell-on-windows-10

Is there a way to hard-link all the duplicate objects in a folder containing multiple Git repositories? Explanation: I am hosting a Git server on my company server (Linux machine). The idea is to have a main canonical repository, to which every user doesn't have push access to, but every user forks the canonical repository (clones the canonical to the user's home directory, thereby creating hard-links actually). /canonical/Repo /Dev1/Repo (objects Hard-linked to /canonical/Repo to when initially cloned) /Dev2/Repo (objects Hard-linked to /canonical/Repo to when initially cloned) This all works

How to create a hardlink in C#? Any code snippet, please? [DllImport("Kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode )] static extern bool CreateHardLink( string lpFileName, string lpExistingFileName, IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes ); Usage: CreateHardLink(newLinkPath,sourcePath, IntPtr.Zero); The BCL doesn't provide this, so you'll have to resort to p/invoke [DllImport("Kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode )] static extern bool CreateHardLink( string lpFileName, string lpExistingFileName, IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes ); And use it e.g. like CreateHardLink(@"c:\temp\New Link", @"c:\temp\Original

I am having a PowerShell script which is walking a directory tree, and sometimes I have auxiliary files hardlinked there which should not be processed. Is there an easy way of finding out whether a file (that is, System.IO.FileInfo ) is a hard link or not? If not, would it be easier with symbolic links (symlinks)? Keith Hill Try this: function Test-ReparsePoint([string]$path) { $file = Get-Item $path -Force -ea SilentlyContinue return [bool]($file.Attributes -band [IO.FileAttributes]::ReparsePoint) } It is a pretty minimal implementation, but it should do the trick. Note that this doesn't

Is there some equivalent in Mercurial to NIX soft- or hard- links to directories or files. Basically that a file (or directory) is linked to a file "somewhere else" and follows the version of that location (Unlike a regular branch I think, where one would have to merge) Ry4an Brase Mercurial versions soft links that are internal to the repository just great. It'll detect them, record them, and create them for you. Is there a specific use case you're looking for? The closest thing to an link that reaches outside the repository is a subrepo, which is a pointer to a specific version of another
