Duplicate executables in ntfsprogs

Hi juanito

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ ls -l /tmp/tcloop/ntfsprogs/usr/local/sbin/m*
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 67692 Oct 26  2009 /tmp/tcloop/ntfsprogs/usr/local/sbin/mkfs.ntfs
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 67692 Oct 26  2009 /tmp/tcloop/ntfsprogs/usr/local/sbin/mkntfs
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 32516 Oct 26  2009 /tmp/tcloop/ntfsprogs/usr/local/sbin/mount.fuse.ntfs
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 32516 Oct 26  2009 /tmp/tcloop/ntfsprogs/usr/local/sbin/mount.ntfs-fuseAside from identical file sizes, a diff reports no difference between the files.

Do not know the package, but probably a symlink was replaced by a full copy during package building.

What does "ls -li" show?

Hi tinypoodle

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ ls -li /tmp/tcloop/ntfsprogs/usr/local/sbin/m*
53 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 67692 Oct 26  2009 /tmp/tcloop/ntfsprogs/usr/local/sbin/mkfs.ntfs
53 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 67692 Oct 26  2009 /tmp/tcloop/ntfsprogs/usr/local/sbin/mkntfs
15 -rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 32516 Oct 26  2009 /tmp/tcloop/ntfsprogs/usr/local/sbin/mount.fuse.ntfs
15 -rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 32516 Oct 26  2009 /tmp/tcloop/ntfsprogs/usr/local/sbin/mount.ntfs-fuseOK, so what does this mean? I s this an example of a hard link?

[tinypoodle]

Exactly.

Now either that is so on purpose, or modifying what bmarkus said, symbolic links got replaced by hard links.
Either way that shouldn't be bothersome regarding total size.

Hi tinypoodle
OK, thanks.

@juanito: Never mind.

In addition ../bin/ntfsmount also has inode 15.
