Hi everyone
I have a problem with S4 following symlinks.
In windows, I can access a share ¡f the the path is the actual
directory but not if the share contains a symlink to the same
directory. I get access errors.
In Linux under NFS, I can access the share either directly via the
symlink.
Does s3fs understand symlinks at the moment?
Look for "wide links", "unix extensions" and "allow insecure
wide links" in "man smb.conf".

Hi Volker
Unfortunately, wide links (which I think is what I need) doesn't work:
samba-tool testparm
Unknown parameter encountered: "wide links"
Ignoring unknown parameter "wide links"
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions
and samba_spnupdate throws errors too.
Regardless of the errors, they will still work. We have two loadparm
engines, and we have not yet reconciled them. It remains a tedious job
that hasn't yet been finished.
To check if a parameter is accepted by the file server component, run
'testparm' rather than 'samba-tool testparm'.

Hi Andrew, hi everyone
I didn't know about testparm without samba-tool.
With:
wide links = Yes
in [global]
testparm is clean
BUT, the symlink gives Access is denied.
Here is the share containing the symlinks:
[students]
path = /home2/students/data
read only = No
Here is an example of the symlink in /home2/students/data pointing to
the actual data:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jul 4 09:51 brian ->
/home2/students/year7/7a/brian
Here is an example of the actual data:
drwxr-xr-x 21 brian Domain Users 4096 Jul 4 10:24 brian
If the share points at the actual data, we are allowed access. If the
share points to the links, we get Access is denied.
What have I done wrong?
Cheers, Steve
Hi Steve,
Check other parameters that Volker mentioned and how they can affect
each other, for example (from man smb.conf for 3.5.8)
unix extensions (G):
...
Note if this parameter is turned on, the wide links parameter will
automatically be disabled.
Default: unix extensions = yes
