[Samba] How to access a samba share that has softlink within?
Hi guys... :) I have a file server - FILE-SERV1 - that utilizes two seperated harddisk/partition as a single share, [BIGSHARE]. This share has a path path = /first_partition Let's say, in the first partition I have directory, named dirA, and in the second partition I have another directory, named dirB. I've softlink-ed dirB into dirA with ln -s /second_partition/dirB /first_partition/dirB so if windows users open the share via windows explorer, they will see both dirA and dirB within the BIGSHARE share. It works as if the dirB directory located in /first_partition, then users can access the files in there. It works in windows. The problem is, when I try to access BIGSHARE from FILE-SERV2 (another linux file server), FILE-SERV2 detect dirB as a link file, and not as a directory, so I cannot access dirB. Anybody has a clue how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Regards, sato
