Hardlink count for directories

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi,


I'm core developer for Cygwin.  For quite some time we have a problem
with the hardlink count of directories returned by Samba.  Two years
ago I filed a bugzilla report

  https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3529

Jeremy asked me to test against remote NTFS shares, which I did, see

  https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3529#c2
  https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3529#c3

I was wondering if this problem could be solved in the next versions of
Samba by just returning a link count of 1 for all directories.  This
would be least error prone, as well as most conforming to native Windows
shares, as descibed in the above test results.


Thanks,
Corinna
