    Shared folder functionality degradation: no more hardlinks support!

    Parallels Pro for Mac 20.0.1 (55659)
    VM Ubuntu 24.04.1 with the latest parallels tools installed.

    I'm using a shared folder from macos inside ubuntu VM and getting error about hardlinks not being supported by FUSE mount:

    Code:
    ln: failed to create hard link 'test-h' => 'test': Function not implemented
    Code:
    Projects on /media/psf/Projects type fuse.prl_fsd (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other)
    It used to work with Parallels 19.x, I suppose it was based on a different sharing mechanism. Please, consider adding support for hardlinks to the new FUSE-based implementation of prl_fsd, it's a basic functionality in UNIX systems and is a show stopper for many use cases. Otherwise we have to fall back to a custom NFS-based sharing which is slower and requires manual configuration on the host which also kills the point of using Parallels in the first place as a user friendly single-click solution. Thanks!
