So, I have a directory of symlinks that I''m managing and Tidy doesn''t seem to be doing much for me in there. Does Tidy ignore symlinks for some reason? If not, does anyone have the correct syntax?

I''m trying to manage a directory full of symlinks for our users'' home directories and running into problems. Our home directories are spread out across multiple NFS partitions. For flexibility and ease of use, we have a /u directory that contains symlinks to each user''s specific home directory, e.g. /u/bob -> /home/k/bob, /u/eric -> /home/b/eric, etc. The

How can I have both server-side and client-side symlinks? Server-side symlinks are needed for example when what appears to the user to be a single mounted directory is actually tens of little pieces tied together by symlinks. Having those symlinks coalesces many mounts that would all have to be perfect in parallel into a single mount that's either fully successful or not. Client-side

Hi! Is it possible for windows to actually see and use symlinks on samba server? Windows NTFS does have notion of junctions and symbolic links, so when one open file A (which is a symbolic link), windows actually opens file B. Can such mechanism be used when A is on samba share? This is probably a protocol question more than samba question. Thanks, /mjt

I am using samba to pull a backup of my linux host over the network so I made the following share: [backup] comment = share for veritas path = / valid users = root read only = yes dont descend = proc dev mnt lost+found sys follow symlinks = no hide unreadable = yes The root user is mapped to administrator and the samba host is on the domain, so the windows box logs on and pulls

Hello folks, trying to make use of the new --keep-dirlinks feature for a synch port; it works excellent but feels incomplete without a way for rsync to ignore recursive links. Example: # ls -la . total 6 drwxrwxr-x 2 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:42 . drwxrwxr-x 8 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:41 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 bldmstr staff 2 Aug 20 12:07 bogus -> .. if you use

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 using Finder on the NAS, it behaves like a normal alias in OSX UNLESS I move

All, I would like to use symlinks to give my users access to all folders they need right from their home directory. I create the symlinks as root and they cannot delete the symlink in their home directory from windows. However when they try to delete the folder (ie highlight it and hit the delete key from windows) the contents of the folder is deleteable (if they have write access to the folder)

G''day. We recently found some issues with the `links => follow` setting in recursive file copying; the designed behaviour is that it should allow you to determine if the master serves a symlink in a module as a symlink, or as the content of the file that the symlink points to. The full details are here: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12418 The short version is that toggling

Samba 3.0.24-6etch10 on Debian Etch. I have really simple samba configuration, on per user principle, (no domain, no wins ..). Some parts of disk conjucted using symlinks, which are working well, if I using windows clients. Linux clients see these as broken symlinks. I'm does not found any information/suggetion how to change this behavior. I suspect (only) that is it about additional unix

Resolve the paths of the binaries we are looking in the guest to identify the architecture.

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: From NAS (QNAP TS-453A)

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

Hi, I have been having some trouble getting samba to deal with symlinks the way I want it to. What I want is to allow symlinks within the scope of the current share only, but not outside of it. I can stop symlinks being followed at all, with "follow symlinks = no", but if I turn "follow symlinks" on, all symlinks seem to be followed whether "wide links" is set or

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-id/ directory.. 2 symlinks to tape

I have an ancient device, several actually, called an Audiotron that I use Samba for to access media files. Now, I realize these are old and finicky devices. For ease of management, I keep my media files separated into 4.5GB directories (easy to burn to DVD) and then I have a script that goes into each of those directories and creates one big directory full of symlinks pointing into each
