Consistent CIFS shortcuts

Post by Tharbad »

Hi all,

Is it possible to create consistent shortcuts? So If I change a folder name, the shortcut won't break.

Thanks

NO in windows, ( shorcuts is only a file with full path to destination)
YES in BSD, shortcut are named symlinks and can be soft and hard, (use google to find more info about soft and hard links, and the command to create it "ln").
12.1.0.4 - Ingva (revision 7743) on SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F 8GB of ECC RAM, 11x3TB disk in 1 vdev = Vpool = 32TB Raw size , so 29TB usable size (I Have other NAS as Backup)

It appears that Windows also support ln:

I wonder if there is a GUI for this somewhere...

Only supported on NTFS... Not good...
