Also, the linux NTFS code behaves most strangly when asked to make a fifo; creating an empty file instead and then failing with EEXIST. + +In more recent versions of git-annex, you can set the `GIT_ANNEX_TMP_DIR` to point somewhere that supports fifos. + +Recent versions also try to detect crippled filesystems, and disable use of unix sockets along with symlinks etc. +However, since ntfs supports symlinks, and it does not probe specially for fifo support, this won't help. +"""]] |
