If I create a link on a Windows NTFS disk (on Windows via mklink /d), that link shows up correctly on Linux when the disk is mounted via CIFS. For example: l--------- 1 rst root 0 Feb 2 10:41 ProgramFiles -> Program Files I can follow the link as expected. That's nice. However, if try to create a sym link on Linux (ln -s) on that CIFS volume, I get: ln: failed to create symbolic link 'qq': Operation not supported Is it truly not supported? Or is it some option I need to learn about that enables this? I have not checked how a Linux disk mounted in Windows acts in this respect. That's a later exploration. -- Roger Oberholtzer
