How are you creating the symbolic link? You can create a symbolic link on a Unix file system to any place mounted on the system (for that matter any bogus place as well). creating a symbolic link does not actually read or verify that the file it points to exists or is mounted.
What you you mena by "copying links files"? Do you mean you wish to have cp follow the link and copy the actual file rather than the symbolic link itself? If this is the case, you can use the -H and -L options of cp. -matt On Thu, 5 Feb 2004, Hendro Nugroho wrote: > Is there any possibility to make symbolic links to usb > hardisk (vfat; mounted under normal user)?
