Title:
xz fails with hardlink errors on ntfs partition
Status in bzip2 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in xz-utils package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xz-utils
After mounting an ntfs partition using dolphin in kubuntu, xz fails to
compress any file on the ntfs partition.
$ [sudo] xz -9 COMP6366_V01_02_15_2011.wmv
xz: COMP6366_V01_02_15_2011.wmv: Input file has more than one hard link,
skipping
More information about the file:
$ ls -la COMP6366_V01_02_15_2011.wmv
-rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 332122239 2011-02-15 16:36 COMP6366_V01_02_15_2011.wmv
Workaround: Renaming the file will allow xz to perform the compression.
$ mv COMP6366_V01_02_15_2011.wmv COMP6366_V01_02_15_2011.wmv2 && mv
COMP6366_V01_02_15_2011.wmv2 COMP6366_V01_02_15_2011.wmv

Any file that is modified or placed onto the ntfs partition from
within ubuntu is fine - this bug only exists for files that already
existed on my Windows XP system.
