ln: creating hard link `xxx' => `/opt/xx': Operation not permitted

摘自http://www.windowslinuxosx.com/q/answers-how-do-i-remove-a-possible-hard-link-directory-to-root-625072.html

Solution

The files and directories in the .linktorootdir directory are copied from the root directory. You can simply delete them using for example rm -rf /volume1/usbcopy/USBCopy_1303012145/.linktohomedir.

The explanation is below.

Hardlinks of directories

Hardlinks to directories are theoretically possible but because of multiple reasons they are disabled in many systems including Linux. This also means that you will not be able to remove a hardlink to directory as the unlink() syscall will not allow it.

Demonstration

root@x:~/testdir# ln -F dir1 dir1linkln: failed to create hard link `dir1link' => `dir1': Operation not permittedroot@x:~/testdir# unlink dir1unlink: cannot unlink `dir1': Is a directory

The shown denial is hardwired in the Linux kernel (fs/namei.c). Here are the results of syscalls:

linkat(AT_FDCWD, "dir1", AT_FDCWD, "dir1link", 0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)unlink("dir1")                          = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory)

Recognizing the two types of links

• softlink - ls -l shows l as the first character of the type/permission field. stat output shows symbolic link.
• hardlink - Hardlinks are mutually indistinguishable. Both the original file and newly created hardlink look exactly the same except the path/filename. Hardlinks cannot point from one filesystem to another. ls -i shows the same inode number for all files hardlinked to the same data (represented by inode). The second column of ls -l shows the number of hardlinks to the inode.

Origin of .linktorootdir

In the .dfmdesk directory DFM creates some links during the first start. These links will be shown as icons on the desktop. Between the links there will be two links to directories:.linktorootdir as a symlink to the root directory of the system DFM is running on and also.linktohomedir. See the DFM documentation and the DFM source.

In your case the directories / and /volume1/usbcopy/USBCopy_1303012145/.linktohomedirare on different filesystems (/dev/root and /dev/vg1000/lv) so they cannot be hardlinks to the same inode. (Hardlinks can point just in the scope of a single filesystem.)

We can guess how the problem you describe emerged. Most probably the backup to NTFS was able to keep the symlink as NTFS has this capability. Later when you copied the backup from the USB drive the copying tool did not handle symlinks as expected. Instead of copying just the symbolic link itself, the tool followed the symbolic links on the source drive and copied the content of them (root directory in the case of .linktorootdir). The similar problem is describe also in the Synology forum: USBCopy cought in infinity loop while copying HDD.

The solution is described at the beginning.

 

 

 

 

A hard link is a directory entry that references the same inode as another directory entry (only working in the same file system). One should therefore avoid very sparingly and use only with good reason. If possible you should SymLinks favor, because hard links are difficult to understand something as symlinks, and are also not all programs be supported and you may want / would imagine it. Absolutely common for the uninitiated copy (not!) way, is something like:

Code:

chown root.root / home/user1/.profileln / home/user1/.profile / home/user2/.profileln / home/user1/.profile / home/user3/.profile... (For all users)

This is all well all user profiles a par "(what the user personally, but not good and perhaps not even find the meaning of. profile equivalent), but an outsiders' Admin occurs as rapidly in a faux pas when he says, local what to change, its change in a magical way (via hard link) globally to all user s impact. And it is particularly bad if the setting happens to a terminal and then you see nothing more )

 

 

 

Hello,
I do not understand the following lines 

Code:

linux: / usr / lib / openoffice / share / fonts # ln-v-d / usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TT /create hard link `. / dd 'to` / usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TT'Ln: creating hard link `. / Dd 'to `/ usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TT ': Operation not permittedlinux: / usr / lib / openoffice / share / fonts #

How can i make a hard link to that directory? Also what exact is the work of a hard link in linux. Thank you for your help.

See this 

Code:

> Ln-v-d / usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TT /

And

Code:

ln one

ln [OPTION] ... OBJECTIVE [command name]

Code:

-D,-F, - directory

Directories to link hard. (Only super-user)
