C:\Users\sandro>mklink /H _vimrc D:\sandro-desktop\.vimrc
The error that I get is: The system cannot move the file to a different disk…

I need to "bind" one directory to many chrooted places. I know that I can do "mount -o bind", but this requires special processing on startup each time (run the mount).
Is there a way to do it on the filesystem directly? My fs is ext4 and it seems not to support hardlinks to directories. Hardlinking…

I created a hardlink of a file as follows:
ln /path/to/source/file1 /path/to/target/file2
Using md5sum, the two files are identical. After a while, the source file has been modified by another program. The target file does not get "updated". The md5sums are now different. The files are on…

I have two directory entries, a and b.
Before, a and b point to different inodes.
Afterwards, I want b to point to the same inode as a does.

I was looking for a way to create hard links under Windows and I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788097.aspx

A more comprehensive phrased question since I lost access to the other one.
I would ask that the other one be deleted, not this one, as it should not have been migrated in the first place.
There are currently two NTFS drivers available for Linux.
The NTFS driver included in the kernel, and the…

I'm not sure what has happened, but I've all of a sudden lost write access to any of my NTFS external drives.
I installed a few games and apps from the software center, and now I can't make new folders or copy and paste files to anything that is NTFS. Everything is now read only, and I've tried…
