Subject: number of hardlinks for directory in ls -lid always 1?
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:33:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9389540.MYekrP2a8Q@merkaba> (raw)

Hi!

On BTRFS I see

martin@merkaba:~> ls -lid /usr/local
27138 drwxrwsr-x 1 root staff 62 Aug 15  2014 /usr/local
martin@merkaba:~> ls -lid /usr/local/.
27138 drwxrwsr-x 1 root staff 62 Aug 15  2014 /usr/local/.
martin@merkaba:~> ls -lid /usr/local/bin/..
27138 drwxrwsr-x 1 root staff 62 Aug 15  2014 /usr/local/bin/..

On other filesystems like Ext4 I see the actual number of hardlinks to the 
directory.

Is this intended behaviour of BTRFS or a bug?



With files it works:

martin@merkaba:~> cd Zeit
martin@merkaba:~/Zeit> mkdir links
martin@merkaba:~/Zeit> cd links
martin@merkaba:~/Zeit/links> LANG=C df -hT .
Filesystem             Type   Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/msata-home btrfs  170G  120G   48G  72% /home
martin@merkaba:~/Zeit/links> echo "hello" > file
martin@merkaba:~/Zeit/links> ls -li
insgesamt 4
12158633 -rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 6 Mär 17 14:32 file
martin@merkaba:~/Zeit/links> ln file hardlink1
martin@merkaba:~/Zeit/links> ls -li           
insgesamt 8
12158633 -rw-r--r-- 2 martin martin 6 Mär 17 14:32 file
12158633 -rw-r--r-- 2 martin martin 6 Mär 17 14:32 hardlink1
