That's quite strange... I have /home@ -> export/home and /export lives on another partition. But I have no problems accessing files as /home/poly/some/dir/some/file from wherever I am. As far as I understood, relative symlinks prefix their respective targets always with their own location, so /home + export/home gives /export/home. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
