Hi experts,
I was wondering if there is a way to access some NFS symlink files that are set using absolute paths from Windows?
On windows/cygwin, I'm able to access relative path symlinks but not the absolute path symlinks.
Assume on Linux (mylinux):
/usr/local/file.c
ln -s /usr/local/file.c fileX1.c (absolute path)
ln -s file.c fileX2.c (relative path)
Assume samba has been set up, so I can open these files on Windows:
\\mylinux\usr\local\file.c
\\mylinux\usr\local\fileX2.c
But not:
\\mylinux\usr\local\fileX1.c
I tried to mount (on Cygwin):
mount "//mylinux" "/"
So I can browse
/usr/local/*
And open
/usr/local/file.c
/usr/local/fileX2.c
but still can't open
/usr/local/fileX1.c
Is there away to make it work?
Or it's just impossible due to file system differences.
Thank you,
