I have a Linux directory mounted via Samba.
If I do the following in the mounted Linux directory, the links don't come out right.
% mkdir directory % echo text > file % ls -l drwxr-xr-x 1 skelem None 0 Dec 23 10:27 directory/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 skelem None 5 Dec 23 10:27 file* % ln -s directory dir % ln -s file f % ls -l -rwxr-xr-x 1 skelem None 98 Dec 23 10:28 dir.lnk* drwxr-xr-x 1 skelem None 0 Dec 23 10:27 directory/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 skelem None 88 Dec 23 10:28 f.lnk* -rwxr-xr-x 1 skelem None 5 Dec 23 10:27 file* % cat f cat: f: No such file or directory % ls -l dir ls: dir: No such file or directory % cat f.lnk L âÂâ A Fâ â â fi leâ file %
The reason I'm bringing this up, is that I'm trying to run a script that runs on Linux. That script is creating the symbolic links.
(Hard links don't work on directories. A hard link on a file does work.)
