New issue 86: tox requires a file system with support for hard links to work
https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/issue/86/tox-requires-a-file-system-with-support

Hynek Schlawack:

Since tox runs sdist, it requires hard links to work.

That’s a problem if you work in a VM with a guess file system like e.g. 
VirtualBox which don’t. Thus at the moment, it’s impossible to use tox in such 
a – thanks to vagrant increasingly common – setup.

There’s a related question on 
[StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7719380/python-setup-py-sdist-error-operation-not-permitted).

The only ad-hoc solution I can come up with is detecting that situation and 
monkey patch `os.link()`. :)
