Hi samba list,
I am seeing a peculiar issue when sharing out a directory containing a soft
symlink pointing to a directory outside of the share and a different
filesystem/block device.
i have 2 shares:
[share1]
read only = No
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes
/media/stor0/user
[share2]
/media/stor1/user
/media/stor0 is an xfs filesystem
/media/stor1 is an xfs filesystem
there is a folder at /media/stor0/user/cross
there is a softlink at /media/stor1/user/cross -> /media/stor0/user/cross
When a client mounts the partition (Linux and Mac OSX Clients tested) and
attempts to copy a file from a directory within the to the symlink pointing
to the folder on the separate partition, the client is told it does not
have permissions to do so (even more peculiarly, when I do so using
Nautilus on a Linux box, I get a pop up saying:
"
Error while moving.
There was an error reading the folder "TEST_FILE01.txt"
Not a directory
"
I am happy to provide more details if required -
