os.link() giving me OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

[psychok7]

in the aquire() function in the os.link() it's giving me OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

i changed it to shutil.copy2 just for testing and it worked so for some reason os.link() its not doing what is supposed to do.

I am sure i am in the right directory because i can see the temporary unique file being generated, it just not able to os.link() and i have no clue why (permissions should be right).

I am using lockfile==0.10.2 and python==2.7.6 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Ok i think i finally got to the bottom of this. So i am using Vagrant 1.7.4 but there appears to be a bug with the symlink creation as reported here mitchellh/vagrant#713

If i do os.link() outside my vagrant it works

i just realized that we can use MkdirLockFile as an alternative to the default FileLock

So we are good then? (nothing to fix in pylockfile)
