Bug ID: 358457
Summary: Kate removes a hard link to file when opening a file
with several hard links
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: dev-laptan...@yandex.ru
It is impossible to edit files that have more than one hard link. Kate simply
deletes hard links and saved files becomes actually different files.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make an empty file
touch 1.txt
2. Make a hard link to it
ln 1.txt 2.txt
3. Ensure that files are hard linked
ls -l {1..2}.txt
-rw-r--r-- 2 ... 1.txt
-rw-r--r-- 2 ... 2.txt
4. Open 1.txt in Kate and edit it, then save.
5. Check if files are hard linked now
ls -l {1..2}.txt
Actual Results:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ... 1.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 ... 2.txt
Expected Results:
-rw-r--r-- 2 ... 1.txt
-rw-r--r-- 2 ... 2.txt
Kate even do not give any warning about such behavior.
