similar to: Ruby code to create junctions on NTFS volumes.

Here is some Ruby code for creating junctions on NTFS volumes. These are the main routines: Dir.junction?(dir) => true if dir is a junction Dir.reparse_target(dir) => returns the target of a junction, or dir Dir.create_junction(junctName, existingTarget) => creates a junctName junction pointing to existingTarget (also used (Dan''s?) GetLastError code and did some simple

Dan, Do you know when the next release of win32-dir is going to be available. I really would like to rely on it for the junction capability that Timothy Byrd posted. =) Thanks, Zach

I?m trying to use rsync with windows vista. Vista?s odd form of ?links? confuses rsync and I get a recursive infinite loop at every such junction (until failure when the filename size limit is exceeded) . Could someone please point me to the solution or is there one? The std don?t follow links switch doesn?t seem to work. Eric -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed

Hi, Try as I might, I just cannot get Dir.create_junction to work with FFI in the ffi branch of the win32-dir project. The problem is the REPARSE_JDATA_BUFFER struct. I''m just not sure how to set those members, specifically, the PathBuffer member. The target looks good, it''s UTF-16LE encoded, but I can''t make it work, despite trying several ways of defining the struct,

Hi, I''ve got a preliminary version of the pure Ruby version of win32-dir in CVS. However, I was hoping to work out the Unicode issue. Run this: from = "C:\\test" to = "?????" Dir.mkdir(from) unless File.exists?(from) Dir.create_junction(to, from) It works, but my explorer (and dos) window shows the name garbled. I don''t think it''s a font

I am running 3.4.3 on a windows server and I ran the code in a new session. I get a warning when running packrat::init() on a project that is located on a windows network drive. The warning I get is Warning message: cannot set reparse point 'U:/packrat5/packrat/lib-R/base', reason 'Access is denied' The error is created based inside the function .Internal(mkjunction(fr,

Hi Samba List, I believe I need to create a "Junction Point" on a Windows XP Pro machine that will seamlessly link up to a Samba Share on a Linux Server. >From my understanding, the creation of a "Junction Point" will hide from an application the fact that the "space referenced by that junction point" is actually located someplace else. While it is

I'm running DeltaCopy (essentially a Windows friendly GUI wrapper around RSync 2.6.6) on Microsoft Vista. I'm trying to make a backup of a user's profile directory. One big difference between Vista and earlier Windows versions is that Vista makes extensive use of Junction Points (sort of like Unix symlinks) for compatibility. For instance, in a profile directory there are 16

Dear R-list members, I've been struggling with the proper setup for analysing my data. I've performed a route choice experiment, in which participants had to make a choice at each junction for the next road. During the experiment they received traffic information, but also encountered two different accidents. They also made trips without accidents. What I'm interested in is to

I''m looking into how to implement a relationship between some models, and I think I need to use a junction table. From the documentation I''ve read, a junction table doesn''t require a model. But from my controller, I''m not sure how to get the data I need. Here''s a description of my models and what I need in my controller: Models 1. Event 2. Site 3.

Hi all, Dave Burt mentioned the possibility of adding symlinks to the Dir class. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction There is also Autrijus Tang''s symlink Perl module at http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Win32-Symlink-0.04/ Looks easy enough, but it only seems to work for directories, not regular files. Should we add this to the Directory class, or simply

Hello, I'm setting up MSDFS feature in samba-2.2.0-alpha3. It works very great! But I'm would wish an extension to the MSDFS functionality: Is it possible to implement a feature, so I could group junction points within directories? E.g.: [pub] path = /export/publicsmb msdfs root = yes PUB | +- dir1 <- directory manually created in /export/publicsmb | | |

The thread starting with this message: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2019q4/004745.html described problems Rich Heiberger was having with package checking on Windows. It appeared that during the tests of examples, an old version of the package was loaded but the new tests were being run, causing lots of confusion and trouble. I reproduced the error, and I think I've

Hi team, I'm running samba 3.0.4 on AIX 4.3.3 and HP-UX 11.00 without any problems except the following : On HP-UX 11.00, when I try to join a machine to a domain, it first insert all POSIX entries in the LDAP backend but rejects the junction. The machine account could not be found. Waiting for a while and relaunching the join command, the junction just works fine. Having exactly the same
