Create a hardlink via Rest API

[matt b]

Hi first time posting to this group. 

I am looking for an example or if it is even possible to create a hardlinked file via the Isilon API?

If anyone knows if this is possible and what this would look like via the REST API it would be great to hear from you.

Cheers

I don't think it's possible via the API, at least not in my reading:

If you wanted the "effect" of a hardlink then my assumption is that it would be used as a "space efficient clone". This the intent of hardlinks we see in our environment. In that case you can do that in the API:

Thanks Jason this looks like it would work. "PUT /namespace/ifs/folder1/myfile?clone=true HTTP/1.1 x-isi-ifs-copy-source: /namespace/ifs/source1/myfile"
