This indicates that the file "home" is a synbolic reference to the file (or directory) "../dm-1". [snip] > [root@Workstation-1 fedora_localhost-live]# ls -al home -> ../dm-1 > ls: cannot access '-': No such file or directory That command just redirected ls's stdout to the /dm-1 file or directory. The file you want is ../dm-1 -- not "home -> ../dm-1". The shell parses that as 'home' and '-' and then "sees" ">" as a redirect stdout. -- Garry T.
