I have deleted all of the files I was playing with and dont really want to duplicate the process but I can assure everyone that the hardlinks were working correctly. In fact, the hardlinks we visible on the windows machine and worked just fine.

What does ls -l /root/share/x show? Does it correctly show the link
count to be 2?

Please show us an ls -l output, too.

I recently read some benchmarks (IIRC, Felix von Leitner did them)
and one of the conclusions was that M$s Samba implementation is slow. A
Samba on Linux managed to saturate a 1 GBit connection easliy without
requiring too much CPU power. He was quite surprised about that (me
too).
