hard links on samba shares

[Riccardo Iaconelli]

Hello!
I'm encountering a bug with samba shares, rsync and hard links. I was trying 
to investigate why on my "linksys" samba share i wouldn't get any hard link 
transferred and rsyncs to it would take forever. To keep a long story short, 
here's the output of the command, which should be pretty explanatory :-)

mount says that:
//192.168.0.105/DISK on /samba/linksys type cifs (rw,mand)


[root at popper linksys]# ls -lah test/*
-rw-rw-r-- 2 502 501 4 2009-10-23 08:53 test/file1
-rw-rw-r-- 2 502 501 4 2009-10-23 08:53 test/file2

[root at popper linksys]# rsync -avz --hard-links test/ test2/
sending incremental file list
./
file1
file2

sent 146 bytes  received 53 bytes  398.00 bytes/sec
total size is 8  speedup is 0.04

[root at popper linksys]# ls -lah test2/*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 502 501 4 2009-10-23 08:53 test2/file1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 502 501 4 2009-10-23 08:53 test2/file2

Is this a bug or just samba being not reliable for hard links? :-)

Bye,
-Riccardo
