Do you know why the symlinks that I created with mythlink.sh don't work
when using them from a remote computer with the myth machines hard drive
connect as an NFS drive over the network? Either that or programs like
Xine can't play video files via symlinks, and gmplayer and kaffeine
won't even show symlinks in their file open dialogs?
remote filesystems often don't follow synlinkls, its a security thing.
This is as far as I know not true. I have used symlinks over NFS in the
past quite extensively.
Typically they should be relative. Does this script perhaps use absolute
links?
(Incidentally, programs which don't show symbolic links in their file
dialogs are really broken)
