In order to create links to the folders in / directory from terminal
man synthetic.conf you’ll have to restart after editing/creation of the file /etc/synthetic.conf make sure to use <tab> instead of spaces (auto-expanded tabs option should be off) you can check permission from terminal ls -la <path_to_the_file> you can also try xattr command, sometimes you can see attribute com.apple.quarantine is there the you could delete it with sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <path_to_the_file> hope it will help dm > On Jun 27, 2021, at 9:46 AM, Neill Smith <nssmith2...@gmail.com> wrote: > > In response to Kreme earlier.
