Hi,
think I've found an issue when using hard links.
My configuration (OS Win8):
- several disks attached via USB containing media files (M:\Recordings1, N:\Recordings2 and so on)
- folder C:\media with subfolder movies
- created a ntfs link in order to use C:\media\movies\recordings1 as a source, pointing to M:\Recordings1
The debug log (sorry, deleted and too lazy right now) says that the folder has not changed, despite new files.
It DOES work with the following command:
mklink /D C:\media\movies\rec1 M:\rec1
It DOES NOT work using this:
mklink /D /J C:\media\movies\rec1 M:\rec2
The difference between those two:
When using only /D it is not possible to map C:\media (located on PC1) as a network drive on PC2 and browse files located on PC1's usb disks (M:, N:, ..). With mklink /D /J it is possible to browse all directories on PC2.
Is anyone able to reproduce/confirm this behaviour?
Thanks, regards
