Hello all, I thought symbolink links work in samba versions greater than 3 and linux kernel 2.9 I tried mounting a windows XP share with the following options, mount -t smbfs //ip/results /data/results -o username=xxx ,password=xxx,gid=502,uid=100,fmask=777,dmask=777,rw 0 0 I could access the files, create files and directories. But, when I tried creating symbolink links* I get operation not permitted.* I checked with cifs too, I get the same message. Any help regarding this is appreciated. Thanks, Karun

Is it not ? >I did not think it was possible being that Windows filesystems do not have good support for symbolic links. I know NTFS has junctions (that are similar) but they are only for folders and only to another NTFS volume. And FAT32 has no symbolic link at all. However Jeremy said it would work with cifs so you should go with that. John
