I checked, You're right. It confused me that this have been changed just like that in the next version (for me) . But the question is still there: Why can't unix extension and wide links work together? I know it a security hole, but I really need this option one way or another. -- faulty symli

My understanding is that the link on md1 is a filesystem-local link, while links to md0 and md2 are wide links, which now get automatically disabled if unix extensions is on. That would explain why everything gets fixed when you disable unix extensions. If I'm right, then this is not a bug. If you

I don't get it what example you're exactly expecting but here is the full story: I have 4 software raid arrays of 2 hard drives. (So md0 is the system's, md1 and md2 are storages, and md3 is for a kvm guest.) Symlinks already existed and newly created work properly on md1, only inside the partiti

Could you provide the information asked at comment 1. In particular, how do you access the share ? I suspect it's not using smbclient but using a CIFS mount, could you confirm, and provide the options used in that mount ? I tried accessing a share with symlinks with smbclient and it seems to work

In my case "wide links" is disabled ever since I use Samba. The ordinary symlink doesn't work if "unix extension" is enabled at the same time. By doesn't work I mean they don't have any file permissions or even details just '?' marks instead. It's been working until yesterday... I'll be more speci

Starting with samba 3.4.6, "wide links" gets disabled automatically if "unix extensions" are enabled. This is by design to resolve a security issue. See: http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.4.6.html and https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7104 and http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cv

I've experienced this (or something same) recently too on 9.10 server, Samba 3.4.0. I'm not sure since when is this lasting but I think upgrading the devicekit-* package today might caused it.? That was the last thing I did before noticed this bug... It only affects symlinks and only on certain
