in reply to Re^3: locking over the network
in thread locking over the network
Perl's link works on an SMB mount of an NTFS volume (for non-ancient versions of Perl and non-ancient Windows operating systems).
I'd be more worried about getting the link count. That is a surprisingly complex and expensive operation under NTFS, as I understand it. But simplistic testing shows that it works okay using native Win32 Perl and Cygwin Perl to a NTFS volume over SMB.
