Extracting layer fails when container is running about hcsshim HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for the report. It looks to me like this is a platform bug in the layer apply when removing a file that is in the parent. I have a repro, and I am investigating.

Thanks @darrenstahlmsft, let us know if you need any more information from our environment

@darrenstahlmsft any updates on this?

We understand the issue here. It is a combination of a bug preventing deletion of hard links in some cases and a performance optimization that creates hard links that trigger the above bug. We're working on a platform fix to allow the deletion of hard links in this case, but in the mean time, I am looking into a mitigation for hcsshim that can prevent creating the hard links if they are not needed (so we don't have to delete any hard links during layer extraction).

I'll have more info or a fix either this week or next.
