I need help with a widelink that isn't working. I've created the widelink in /etc/symlink.translations as:
widelink /myfiler/vol1/down/tree/mylink/* \\myfiler\vol2\down\tree\target_directory\*
The symlink is working fine in Unix, it was created as
# cd /myfiler/vol1/down/tree
# ln -s /myfiler/vol2/down/tree/target_directory mylink
I've enabled widelinks on vol1, not on vol2.
From Windows, under the path \\myfiler\vol1\down\tree\, mylink appears as a directory, and its Properties have the DFS tab present, which shows the Referral list with Path = \\myfiler\vol1, Active = Yes, and Status = Okay. However, when I click on the mylink folder, I get a Windows error popup stating "\\myfiler\vol1\down\tree\mylink refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer...", etc.
I'm guessing there is something wrong with my widelink syntax in symlink.translations. Can someone point me in the right direction here? Note that the NFS and CIFS shares are at the volume level, i.e. /myfiler/vol1, \\myfiler\vol1, and the symlink is "down the tree", i.e. down several levels of subdirectories.
Sorry for posting this in multiple locations, I should have started a new discussion here to begin with.
Thanks!
