Package: sshfs
Version: 1.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Currently, absolute symlinks in mounted shares do not make much
sense, as they point to some location in the remote host which
insn't the same in the mounted host. Can an option enable rewriting
symlinks so that they point to something sensible.
A problem I could envisage is the case when the symlink points to
some location outside the mounted tree (like a symlink to /etc, when
/foo/bar on the remote host is mounted). Some solutions I could
think of are -
1. Of course, leave them unchanged and let them point to nonsense.
2. Expose them as real files, after dereferencing them at the remote
host (I hope sftp can still access files outside the root of the
mount point). We have to handle the cases when readlink or
stat'ing of the dereferenced file results in an error (perhaps
revert to behaviour 1?)
Of course, you can make behaviour 2 optional again.

Ramkumar.
