Re: FSUTIL, hardlink not working

Writing pseudo-code is fine when explaining a general
principle but is of no use when it comes to debugging.
I created a batch file for you that shows how the hardlink
concept works. You now need to create your own batch
file to demonstrate how it does NOT work when you do it.

yes,
i recreated perfectly a batch file with your concept in mind and it worked
fine:

==my sample: ==

time /T >original.txt
fsutil hardlink create hardlink.txt original.txt
date /T >>hardlink.txt
md sample
move hardlink.txt .\sample
type .\sample\hardlink.txt

== end of my sample ==

it works.
but when i do the following in interactive mode (by hand), it doesn't work:

copy con original.txt
{typing something, then ctrl-z, return}
fsutil hardlink create linked.txt original.txt
edit linked.txt
{modify somewhat}
type original.txt

the resulting file is not modified :-(
and the same thing happens if i use notepad (not only "edit")


.
