研究方向

沿著 Windows CreateHardLinkW 路徑追蹤 fs.link 和 uv_fs_link,然後檢查 libuv 針對 ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION 的 uv_translate_sys_error 對映。透過在 exFAT 上重現來確認該對映,並新增涵蓋所得 errno 的回歸測試;完成的標準是該錯誤不再回報 EISDIR,並能識別出不支援的操作。

描述

  • Version: v24.19.0
  • Platform: Windows 11 Home (10.0.22631), x64 — NTFS system drive; two USB exFAT volumes (4TB / 2TB)
  • Subsystem: fs
What is wrong?

fs.linkSync(src, dest) targeting a file on an exFAT volume fails with errno EISDIR ("illegal operation on a directory"). The destination path does not exist and is not a directory. The real reason is that exFAT does not support hard links, and the underlying Win32 error is ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION (WinError 1).

The EISDIR diagnosis actively misleads: it sends developers hunting for a directory that isn't there, instead of pointing at the unsupported filesystem operation.

Reproduction

On an exFAT-formatted volume (e.g. X:\):

$ node -e "require('fs').linkSync('X:\\a.tmp','X:\\b.tmp')"
Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, link 'X:\a.tmp' -> 'X:\b.tmp'

Python cross-check on the same volume shows the true underlying Win32 error:

$ python -c "import os; os.link(r'X:\a.tmp', r'X:\b.tmp')"
OSError: [WinError 1] 函数不正确。 (ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION)

Observations from our test matrix (single machine, Windows 11 build 22631, Node v24.19.0):

Target volume Filesystem fs.linkSync result
C:, D:, F: NTFS succeeds
E: (USB), H: (USB) exFAT always fails with EISDIR

The failure splits perfectly along filesystem type, independent of internal/USB. Reads are unaffected; plain file writes work fine on exFAT.

Expected behavior

When CreateHardLinkW fails with ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION on a filesystem without hard-link support, Node/libuv should surface a meaningful errno — e.g. ENOSYS ("function not implemented"), EPERM, or EOPNOTSUPP — rather than EISDIR.

For reference, on Linux, link(2) on filesystems that do not support hard links reports EPERM/EOPNOTSUPP, and on a system without the syscall at all ENOSYS.

Hypothesis (for upstream to confirm)

Possibly a missing mapping for ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION in libuv's win32 uv_translate_sys_error, letting the failed uv_fs_link fall through to a misleading errno. We have not traced the exact layer; we only report the observed mapping WinError 1 (ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION) → EISDIR.

Context / impact

This surfaced while diagnosing a third-party agent tool that publishes files via temp-file + hard-link: on exFAT drives every write failed, and the EISDIR message misattributed the cause. Reported downstream at https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/discussions/5704 (includes the consumer-side analysis and a fallback-to-rename mitigation).

exFAT is the factory default format for many USB drives and SD cards, so "write to my external drive" is a common end-user scenario that hits this.
