In this case you will get an error when you -attempt to rename a file and the destination already exists. A -workaround is to first remove the destination file, and then do the -rename. SSHFS can do this automatically if you call it with `-o -workaround=rename`. However, in this case it is still possible that -someone (or something) recreates the destination file after SSHFS has -removed it, but before SSHFS had the time to rename the old file. In -this case, the rename will still fail. - -Hardlinks -~~~~~~~~~ - -If the SSH server supports the *hardlinks* extension, SSHFS will allow -you to create hardlinks. However, hardlinks will always appear as -individual files when seen through an SSHFS mount, i.e. they will -appear to have different inodes and an *st_nlink* value of 1. - - -O_APPEND -~~~~~~~~ - -When writeback caching is enabled, SSHFS cannot reliably support the -``O_APPEND`` open flag and thus signals an error on open. To enable -support for unreliable ``O_APPEND`` (which may overwrite data if the -file changes on the server at a bad time), mount the file system with -``-o unreliable_append``. - - Getting Help ------------ |
