I've tried with nounix and nolinux (as proposed by the cifs devs) and changed the bit in /proc and got symlinks all the time. I guess I was using a different version than the server and there could be some issues (I know rsync does a lot).
Unfortunately, I can't control the server, but I moved all my stuff to the same tree and now I don't have this problem anymore... Pity I solved the wrong way... ;) -- Mount with smbfs treats symlinks invalid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
