I'm running an NTFS drive, and my source file has 2 hard-links to it.
Running xz -9evf source.txt prints:
xz: source.txt: Input file has more than one hard link, skipping

When using 4.999.9beta-10, it correctly compresses that file.


Thanks for the report. I'll investigate and report it upstream.

No, I didn't. Thanks for the nudge.

Now that 5.0 is out, officially, I'll give it another test and poke
upstream again, but probably not until the holidays.

CHANGES (since 4.999.9beta-10)

o Update to 2010-Apr-01 git snapshot
   Wed Mar 31 16:47:25 2010 +0300
   a1f7a986b8d708f9290da9799ca1b8d7082fad3e
o Rebuild using gcc4, against official cygwin-1.7.x release.
o Upstream:
   - Documentation updates
   - Fix option parsing bug in xz
   - Fix installation issue on cygwin/mingw.
   - lzmainfo bugfixes
   - New lzma_filters_copy(), lzma_physmem(), and io_pread() APIs.
   - Behavioral modification for filter chain initialization/update:
 Technically, this is a ABI change, but to date is is only used
 internally, so I didn't bump the DLL number.
   - xz now supports --info-memory and --robot options, and a
 rudimentary implemenation of --list.
   - Fix various liblzma bugs
   - liblzma now relies on auto-import, for MinGW/Cygwin
   - Never accept (or output) compressed data from a tty
   - xzgrep now supports filenames with spaces
