I think you can delete open files on Windows nowadays, if they are opened with a particular flag. > I don't think samba will really care too much either way.

Leases are handy for some userspace caching tricks too. (inotify is too late for some coherent things: the file is modified first, then you find out.) I wouldn't like deleting a hard-link to have that effect if it can be avoided. Or renaming (see below). > At the risk of being lazy and not checking for myself...what in the > NFSv4 spec mandates this? On the same note, if deleting any link of a hard-link file requires this, surely renaming a file requires it too, because that's roughly equivalent to making a new link and deleting the old one. -- Jamie
