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:
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!
