Well, in 16.0.1 it does not seem to work for me:
Code:
[root@archlinux parallels-tools-16.0.1.48919]# mount -v -t prl_fs -o host_inodes,share Home /mnt/psf/Home
mount: Home mounted on /mnt/psf/Home.
[root@archlinux parallels-tools-16.0.1.48919]# mount | fgrep Home
Home on /mnt/psf/Home type prl_fs (rw,relatime,sync,ttl=300,share)
[root@archlinux parallels-tools-16.0.1.48919]# cp /mnt/psf/Home/.bash_history test
cp: skipping file '/mnt/psf/Home/.bash_history', as it was replaced while being copied
[root@archlinux parallels-tools-16.0.1.48919]# umount /mnt/psf/Home
[root@archlinux parallels-tools-16.0.1.48919]#
As you may see from the output above, the "host_inodes" option has not been set on the mount despite being explicitly requested.
According to the code in prl_fs/super.c in prlfs_fill_super():
Code:
...
if (prlfs_sb->host_inodes) {
struct prlfs_sf_features sff = {PRLFS_SFF_HOST_INODES};
if ((get_sf_features(tg_dev, &sff) < 0) || !(sff.flags & PRLFS_SFF_HOST_INODES))
prlfs_sb->host_inodes = 0;
}
...
Which, basically, says that even if "host_inodes" was explicitly requested but the Toolgate does not support it for some reason the option is going to be disabled.
So far, I could not find why it is not enabled :-/
