Patch to disable hardlinks on sshfs filesystems (904 bytes, patch)

Description Jason L. Buberel 2007-02-07 18:45:07 UTC 
I am using Ubunty Edgy (v6.1) with GnuCash 2.0.1. I am using FUSE (file system in user space) with the 'sshfs' module to mount a remote directly on my local workstation.

I copied a gnucash file to that remote directory, then right-clicked on the file and selected the 'Open with GnuCash...' option.

At the time of opening, I am presented with a warning dialog that states that 'GnuCash was unable to obtain a lock on the file'. I press the 'Open anyways' button.

I then make a change, and press the 'Save' button. The status area in the lower right corner indicates that 'Writing...' is in progress. No error messages are displayed.

I then quit/exit GnuCash. On the FUSE/sshfs-mounted drive, the gnucash file is now gone and only a file.date.log file is present. 

Full version information: The GnuCash personal finance manager. The GNU way to manage your money!  This copy was built from r14585 on 2006-09-21.
