i googled for weeks and i'v never seen that link :)
i'm not used to post without searching in google, sorry you supposed it.


anyway,
my problem remains the same:

let me explain my "experiment" with the following sequence:
(the OS messages are in italian language, but you can simply repeat my
experiment and read your OS messages)

=== TOP ===

C:\test>md a b

C:\test>cd a

C:\test\a>copy con original_file.txt
This is the original file.
^Z
1 file copiati.

C:\test\a>cd ..\b



C:\test\b>fsutil hardlink create hardlinked.txt ..\a\original_file.txt
Collegamento hardware creato per C:\test\b\hardlinked.txt <<===>>
C:\test\a\orig

C:\test\b>edit hardlinked.txt

C:\test\b>type hardlinked.txt
This is the original file.
LINE ADDED USING HARDLINKED.TXT


C:\test\b>cd..\a

C:\test\a>type original_file.txt
This is the original file.

=== BOTTOM ===

as you can see the original file was not updated.
this doesn't seem an hardlink to me.
i've not controlled sizes, but content.

what was wrong? :-/

Thanks for your time and kind attention :-)
