Hi all. I long time discover strange to me behavior. If I add --fake-super option on both sides rsync start always set owner and group of symlink. What interesting there no error, but it done each time as it has been changed. Simple reproduce: $ mkdir rsync.symlinks $ echo 'file content' > rsync.symlinks/file.itself $ ln -s file.itself rsync.symlinks/file.symlink Then try to transfer it on remote host: $ rsync -apr --links --ite...

As mentioned in another thread, I notice that the params used to control symlinks feel a bit inefficient and inelegant, and quite limited. I think there might be a good opportunity to simplify and also make their management in Samba more powerful and adaptable to use-cases. I'm guessing this list is a good enough starting point to propose a smb.conf param change to this a...

hi, on a samba domain member file server i'm using dfs root shares with multiple msdfs symlinks pointing to other shares (on the same server), which works fine. These linked shares have different access rights, therefore a user might have access to one linked share but not to another. Is there any option to hide msdfs-symlinks to shares that a user cannot read? (the same as 'hide unr...

ln -s real-file symlink file.itself is ./rsync.symlinks/file.itself, but you are trying to link ./file.itself (which presumably doesn't exist) to the real file. Since a symlink is just a pointer, it gets created, but doesn't point to any real file. Try: ln -s rsync.symlinks/file.itself . Joe On 10/11/2015 06...

Hi, I would appreciate someone testing if their system can recognize symlinks (as below) on their SMB share. My Mac and Windows machines can NOT recognize symlinks on my NAS's SMB share, they just identify symlinks as real files and folders. Why is this an issue? Because when I try to copy parts of these backups from the NAS it just loops back on itself forever. Eg:...

I have a couple of samba shares that point to symlinks. Basically these are last night's copy of a bunch of data. The path changes every night (YYMMDD is in the path name), so I've just got one symlink that gets updated to the path with the latest date every night. I was using an old Samba on OpenSolaris for a long time and this process was...

Hi list, Is there a configuration for gluster to have symlinks working with gluster nfs exports? When I try to create a symlink on a glusterfs nfs mount I get: ln: creating symbolic link `test' to `httpdocs': Unknown error 526 From nfs.log: [2012-02-18 01:27:27.541155] E [client3_1-fops.c:173:client3_1_symlink_cbk] 0-dcm-gluster-backup1-client-0: r...

I have a laptop and desktop that have most of home directory data sync'd, but I am having trouble keeping symlinks straight. On the desktop, my data is separate from the $HOME folder... $HOME = /remote/home/desktop/ and the data is at /data/. Within /data/, I have several directories that are inter-related... eg, /data/pub1/figs is a link pointing to /data/imgs/pub1. It makes life easier when I'm writin...

When you say “real symlinks on OSX” do you mean an “alias” that Finder would create? Or a Unix-type symlink using the “ ln -s file link” command in Terminal? A Finder alias is not the same as a Unix-type symlink. My NAS runs Debian Linux with version 4.3.11 of smbd; my clients are all OSX Mojave. If I create an alias usin...

...my mirrors. I have one problem, tho. To improve speeds of my filesystems, I have created a raid 0 of 4 disks, and I place the most heavily copied disks there. The fs has subdirectories, one for each set of typically .iso files, such as Mandrakelinux or fedora. I would like to be able to just do a symlink from the original tree to the directory on the raid, but rsync deletes this symlink and the copies the .iso files again. I have asked other rsync users, and they have the same problem. What I do now, is to mount the raid directory on the mirror tree, but that is ugly, as I cannot unmount it again...

Hello! I'm having problems with udev /dev/tape/by-id/ symlinks.. it seems symlinks to tape drives are sometimes (randomly) missing after reboot. Server in question has IBM TS3200 tape library connected with 2 drives in it.. so /proc/scsi/scsi shows 3 devices: 2 tape drives, and 1 medium changer (tape library). So I should have 3 symlinks in /dev/tape/by-i...

After a manual fix I have that, too. Point is that for historic hosts this symlink doesn't exist. The upgrade fails due to dbus becoming unavailable. And the next reboot fails, too, because the symlink is not created automatically. Can you confirm this? Regards Harri

I mean a Unix-style symlink as if created by "ln -s file link". > If I create Unix symlink, Finder will open the file UNLESS I move the linked file - in this case Finder CANNOT find the original file - the symlink is broken . In my case the Finder is able to open symlinks, this is not the problem. The problem...
